This vast apartment in an old Sheffield school is on the market for £210,000 - take a look inside

An apartment covering nearly 1,100 sq ft in a Grade II-listed former Victorian school is up for sale in Sheffield with a guide price of £210,000.

The flat is at Tapton Mount off Manchester Road, Broomhill, and once formed part of Tapton Mount School, which taught visually impaired children including a young David Blunkett who went on to become home secretary.

After the classrooms shut in 1997, the place was converted into luxury apartments – the two-bedroom flat being marketed has ‘huge proportions, high ceilings and beautiful feature double glazed sash windows’, the estate agent says.

The sale is being handled by Spencer – visit www.spencersestateagents.co.uk for more details.
