Archways Sheffield Student Accommodation: Rooms, Amenities & More

Where is Archways in Sheffield?

You’ll find Archways Sheffield at:

18 Leadmill Road
Sheffield
S1 4SG
United Kingdom

Leadmill Road puts you close to Sheffield Hallam University’s City Campus and Sheffield Railway Station. The Hallam University tram stop is also nearby, while Leadmill Street, Suffolk Road and Furnival Street have local bus stops.

You will not have to travel far for everyday shopping either. SPAR, Sainsbury’s Local, Tesco Express, Iceland and M&S Food are all within the wider city-centre area. The Moor gives you more shops and food options when you need more than a quick supermarket run.

You can also compare other student accommodation in Sheffield before you choose your room.

Archways student accommodation options and room types

Archways student accommodation keeps the basic setup consistent: you get your own bedroom and private en-suite bathroom, then share the kitchen and living area with the other students in your flat.

The main differences come down to bedroom size, bed type, floor and the number of people in the flat.

Some rooms have single beds, while larger categories come with double beds. Three-bedroom flats give you a smaller shared setup, which can appeal if you do not want a busy kitchen with several flatmates.

There are no studio flats among the current room selection. If you want your own kitchen as well as a bathroom, you will need to compare other Sheffield properties.

Archways rooms and current prices

The Archways rooms range from standard single en-suites to larger double en-suites.

Current room information includes:

*Some older room records still display a lower starting figure. The current pricing comparison uses £89 per week for the Large Standard Single En-suite.

The three-bedroom flats deserve a closer look if shared-kitchen size matters to you. Fewer flatmates can mean less competition for fridge space, cooking time and cleaning.

Rent, contract lengths and payment plans

Contract options vary quite a lot at Archways Sheffield. Current room information includes stays of 12, 13, 16, 22, 23, 25, 28, 33, 39, 44 and 50 weeks, although the exact choice depends on the room.

A £89 room on a 50-week contract comes to approximately £4,450 in rent. At £99 per week, the same contract length reaches £4,950.

That £10 weekly difference becomes £500 across 50 weeks. Check the full tenancy total before you decide that two rooms cost almost the same.

Instalment options can form part of the payment plan, and some bookings require guarantor details. Read the payment dates carefully before you confirm anything, especially if you plan to match rent with student finance.

What’s included in your rent?

The main household bills come within your weekly rent at Archways accommodation.

Rent includes:

• Electricity
• Gas
• Heating
• Water
• High-speed Wi-Fi
• Contents insurance
• Furnished bedroom

This takes several regular bills out of your monthly budget. You still need money for groceries, laundry, travel, your phone and normal personal spending.

The property has on-site laundry facilities, so you do not need to carry washing into the city. Check the payment setup before move-in because laundry costs or promotional credits can change between bookings.

Facilities and amenities at Archways

Archways keeps the facility list centred on the things students are likely to use during a normal week.

Residents can use:

• Common room
• TV lounge
• Social spaces
• Courtyard
• Laundry room
• Bike storage
• Vending machine
• Recycling facilities
• On-site maintenance

The building also has study desks, wardrobes and storage inside the bedrooms.

The courtyard gives you somewhere outside to meet flatmates when the weather cooperates. The common room and TV lounge work better when you want to get out of your flat without spending money in town.

There is no on-site gym among the current facilities. Hallam Active and several city-centre gyms are nearby if regular workouts form part of your week.

Universities near Archways Sheffield

The address works particularly well for Sheffield Hallam students.

City Campus is the easiest university route from Leadmill Road. The University of Sheffield takes longer, but the nearby tram network gives you another option when you do not want to walk uphill towards campus.

Students at the University of Sheffield can also compare accommodation near the University of Sheffield.

Distance and transport links to universities and Sheffield city centre

Many Sheffield Hallam students can handle their normal university day on foot.

The Hallam University tram stop gives you another useful option for journeys towards the University of Sheffield. Sheffield Station is also within walking distance, which helps if you travel home regularly during term.

Nearby bus stops include Leadmill Street/Mortimer Street, Suffolk Road/Turner Street and Furnival Street/Arundel Lane. Bus and tram services can change, so check the latest timetable before a journey rather than relying on an old route number.

If you cycle, the property has bike storage on site.

Things to do near Archways

You have plenty within walking distance when you want a break from classes.

The Moor covers shopping, food and everyday errands. Peace Gardens, Winter Garden and Millennium Gallery give you quieter options in the centre, especially when you want somewhere to go without spending much.

For coffee, you can head towards places such as Tamper Coffee, Marmadukes or Steam Yard. Restaurants and casual food spots spread through the city centre, so meeting friends after lectures does not need much planning.

Devonshire Green, South Street Park and Norfolk Park give you more outdoor space when you want to get away from your room for an hour.

Archways reviews and student experience

Archways reviews currently give the property an average score of 3.5/5 from 42 verified ratings.

That score gives you a broad idea, but it cannot tell you what your own flat will feel like. Your flatmates, room position, kitchen condition and noise around the building can have a much bigger effect on everyday life.

The property does have some practical points in its favour. Every bedroom has a private bathroom, while the common room, TV lounge and courtyard give you somewhere to spend time outside your flat.

Before you book, ask how many people share your kitchen and where the room is within the building. Those two details can tell you more about day-to-day life than the room name alone.

Security features include:

• CCTV
• Secure door entry
• 24-hour assistance
• On-site security
• On-site maintenance

Keep your access card or key secure and check your bedroom lock after move-in.

Learn the fire procedure during your first few days and report problems with entrance doors, locks or safety equipment as soon as you notice them.
