Leadmill Point Sheffield: Your Guide to Rooms, Amenities, Reviews & Student Accommodation

Where is Leadmill Point in Sheffield?

You’ll find the property at:

26 Leadmill Road
Sheffield
S1 4SD
United Kingdom

Sheffield Hallam City Campus is about 0.1 miles away, so students there can walk to lectures in roughly three minutes. Sheffield Station is also about five minutes from the property.

That part of Sheffield puts a lot within walking distance. The city-centre shops are nearby, while The Moor, Orchard Square and supermarkets around the centre cover food and everyday errands.

The location also suits anyone who travels home regularly. Sheffield Station is close enough that you do not need to leave an extra half-hour just to cross the city with a suitcase.

You can compare the area with other student accommodation in Sheffield before you choose.

Leadmill Point student accommodation options and room types

Leadmill Point student accommodation currently has three main room categories on its property page. All three are private bedrooms, but the bathroom setup and price change between them.

The Classic Non En-suite Room gives you your own bedroom and a shared bathroom. It carries the lowest displayed price.

The Classic En-suite adds a private bathroom, while you still share the kitchen and living space with flatmates.

The Premium Range 1 Accessible En-suite gives you a private accessible bathroom and additional room features. Check the exact layout if you need specific accessibility requirements.

There are no studios among the three current room categories, so this property suits students who are comfortable with a shared kitchen.

Leadmill Point rooms and current prices

The Leadmill Point rooms currently shown all use single beds and 51-week contracts.

The prices above still give you a useful idea of the difference between room types, but check the Leadmill Point Sheffield page for fresh availability before you make plans around a particular room.

The jump from a shared bathroom to a Classic En-suite adds £30 per week. Over 51 weeks, that comes to £1,530. Decide how much a private bathroom matters to you before you pay the difference.

Rent, contract lengths and payment plans

The displayed 2026/27 rates start from £120 per week, with the current room information based on 51-week contracts.

A long tenancy can suit students who plan to stay in Sheffield through most of the summer, but it can cost more overall than a shorter academic-year contract. Check your university dates and summer plans before you commit to the full 51 weeks.

Payment dates depend on the agreement attached to your booking. You may also need a guarantor, particularly if you choose an instalment plan. A guarantor takes financial responsibility if you cannot meet the rent payments.

Do not judge a room from the weekly number alone. The full tenancy figure tells you much more about what the room will cost you during the year.

What’s included in your rent?

The main household costs come within the rent, so you do not need to arrange separate payments for several basic utilities.

The current Leadmill Point accommodation package includes:

• Wi-Fi
• Water
• Heating
• Gas
• Contents insurance

The property also has printing facilities, although the exact terms can change. A current booking offer includes laundry credit on qualifying reservations, so check the conditions before you assume laundry comes free throughout your stay.

You will still need money for food, your phone, transport and normal personal spending.

Facilities and amenities at Leadmill Point

The shared spaces give you a few options when you do not want to spend the whole evening in your bedroom.

Residents have access to:

• Common room
• Study room
• Social spaces
• Outdoor courtyard
• Pool table
• Table football
• Vending machines
• Printing facilities
• Recycling facilities

The study room is useful if your flat gets noisy around deadline time. The common room serves a different purpose, with games and seating for time with flatmates.

There is no need to force every social plan into a café or pub either. The courtyard and common areas give you places to meet people without spending money each time.

Universities near Leadmill Point

Sheffield Hallam City Campus has by far the shortest commute from the property.

City Campus sits opposite Sheffield Station, so Leadmill Point puts Hallam students very close to both lectures and rail connections.

The University of Sheffield takes longer on foot, but the route is still manageable. Students there can also use the tram between Sheffield Station and the University stop.

Distance and transport links to nearby universities and Sheffield city centre

Sheffield Hallam City Campus students will rarely need a bus for lectures. The walk takes around three minutes.

The University of Sheffield main campus takes around 17 minutes on foot. If you prefer public transport, the Blue tram route runs from Sheffield Station towards Malin Bridge and stops at the University of Sheffield. The tram journey from the station takes under 10 minutes.

Sheffield Station itself is about five minutes away, which gives you direct rail access for trips outside the city. Sheffield Interchange is also beside Hallam’s City Campus.

For normal city-centre plans, walking will usually make more sense than waiting for public transport.

Things to do near Leadmill Point

You have several places nearby when you want a few hours away from lectures.

Showroom Cinema is close to Sheffield Station and gives you independent films alongside mainstream releases. Millennium Gallery and the Winter Garden sit farther into the centre, while The Moor covers shopping, food and everyday errands.

Sheffield’s music scene still has plenty going on, although one local detail has changed. The original Leadmill venue on Leadmill Road closed in June 2025, and the promoter now runs events at venues around Sheffield while it works towards a new permanent home.

For something outdoors, you can head towards Peace Gardens in the centre or travel farther out towards Sheffield’s larger parks.

Leadmill Point reviews and student experience

Leadmill Point reviews currently give the property an overall rating of 3.3/5 from 124 verified ratings.

The location is an easy point to understand. Hallam City Campus sits a few minutes away, the station is nearby and central Sheffield is easy to reach on foot.

Resident feedback also points to generous room space in some flats, while the common room, study room and games facilities give students somewhere to go outside their bedrooms.

A 3.3 score also shows that experiences do not match for everyone. Before you choose a room, think about the things likely to affect your own week: shared bathroom access, kitchen condition, noise, maintenance and the number of people in your flat.

If you do not want to share a bathroom, the cheaper room will probably stop looking like much of a saving after a few months.

Are Leadmill Point student halls safe?

Leadmill Point student halls use several measures to control access and support residents.

Security features include:

• 24-hour security
• Secure door entry
• On-site security
• Fire alarms
• Contents insurance

Keep your room key or access card secure and check your bedroom lock after move-in. Report problems with entry doors, locks or fire equipment as soon as you notice them.

No accommodation can remove every personal safety risk, so it also helps to learn the building’s fire procedure during your first few days.

How to book Leadmill Point

1. See what rooms are open

Start with the Leadmill Point Sheffield page. The three room types are currently marked unavailable, so check again for cancellations or new inventory before you settle on one.

2. Decide if you want your own bathroom

The cheapest room shares a bathroom. The en-suite options cost more but keep the bathroom private.

3. Check what the room will cost for the year

Look at the full 51-week figure, not only the weekly price. The difference between £120 and £150 per week becomes much bigger over a full tenancy.

4. Make sure the tenancy works with your year

Have a proper look at the move-in and move-out dates before you book, especially if your course finishes well before the tenancy does. The rent normally covers the full period written into the agreement, even if you decide to move out earlier.

5. Send the details required for the booking

When you are happy with the room, fill in your contact details and university information and any guarantor or payment details requested for the reservation.

6. Read through the terms before you commit

Take a few minutes to go through the payment dates, cancellation terms and anything else tied to the booking before you confirm it. No Visa No Pay, No Place No Pay and a cooling-off period can apply to eligible bookings, so check the conditions attached to your reservation rather than assuming every booking follows the same rules.
