Sheffield is situated almost in the middle of England, being approximately 180 miles north from London, 40 miles south of Leeds and 36 miles east of Manchester. Sheffield is regarded as being England’s fourth largest city.

The property is located in the Sheffield suburb of Handsworth / Woodhouse located approximately 6 miles east of the city centre. The area now forms a mainly residential suburb comprising mainly post war and modern estate housing.

Close by the property is a large business estate, developed in the 1970’s and 1980’s.

The property is ideally situated benefiting from easy access to the M1 at Junction 31 which in turn also leads to the M18 at Junction 32. The M1 motorway can also be accessed via the A57 Sheffield Parkway which provides good access to Sheffield city centre.
