Choosing where to live during university involves more than finding a room close to campus. Your accommodation becomes part of your everyday routine, from the journey to lectures and where you sit down with coursework to where you pick up groceries or meet friends after class.
Electric Press Sheffield is located on Henry Street, close to Kelham Island and within easy reach of Sheffield's universities and city centre. The property offers a choice between en-suite accommodation and private studios, so students can decide how much shared living and personal space they want during the academic year.
With utility bills included, shared facilities inside the property and several transport options nearby, Electric Press gives students a practical place to live while keeping much of Sheffield within easy reach.
Electric Press offers two main ways of living. Students who enjoy having flatmates can choose an en-suite room within a shared apartment, while those who prefer more independence can opt for a self-contained studio.
The difference can matter once university gets busy. Shared apartments give you people around you and communal spaces to use, while your en-suite bedroom remains your own. A studio, on the other hand, gives you your own kitchen and bathroom as well as your private sleeping and study space.
The accommodation also includes shared areas within the building. Residents can use the lounge, cinema room and pool table when they want somewhere to relax or spend time with other students. Practical facilities such as laundry, bike storage and on-site maintenance are also available, covering some of the everyday tasks that come with student living.
For students considering Electric Press Sheffield, the location is another part of the appeal. The property sits close to Kelham Island while remaining within straightforward travelling distance of the University of Sheffield, Sheffield Hallam University and Sheffield city centre.
Address: 21 Henry Street, Sheffield S3 7JT, United Kingdom
The location of Electric Press Sheffield makes it possible to keep many regular journeys relatively short. University, shopping, food and transport are all within reach, which can be useful when your timetable changes from one day to the next.
Shalesmoor Tram Stop and Netherthorpe Road Tram Stop are nearby, giving students access to Sheffield's tram network. Local bus services also operate from stops around Upperthorpe Road, Montgomery Terrace Road, Watery Street and Meadow Street. For longer journeys, Sheffield Railway Station connects the city with destinations across the region and beyond.
Grocery shopping doesn't require a major trip either. Tesco Express, Sainsbury's Local, Aldi and Co-op Food are all close to the property, giving students several options for picking up food and household essentials.
Kelham Island adds plenty of places to eat and meet friends. Ponderosa Cafe and other nearby coffee shops provide options for a quick coffee or an afternoon away from your room, while Saw Grinders Union, JORO Restaurant, Harlem House and Bar Kelham give students places to eat in the area.
There are also several options when you want to step away from university work. Kelham Island Museum Grounds, Ponderosa Park and Weston Park provide open spaces around the city, while Sheffield Central Library and the University of Sheffield Information Commons offer alternative places to study.
Students who prefer exercising close to home can use the on-site gym or visit other fitness facilities across Sheffield. Having several options nearby means you can choose between a quick workout at the property and a longer visit to one of the city's sports facilities.
Accommodation priorities differ from one student to another. One person may want an affordable en-suite close to university, while another may be more interested in having a private studio. Some students also place greater importance on study facilities, transport links or having their bills covered.
Electric Press Sheffield brings these considerations together through a choice of room types and practical facilities.
Some of the reasons students may choose to live here include:
En-suite rooms and private studio accommodation.
Location close to the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University.
Electricity, gas, heating, water and high-speed Wi-Fi included in the rent.
Cinema room, lounge and pool table for shared use.
On-site laundry facilities.
Bike storage for residents.
CCTV and on-site maintenance.
Wheelchair-accessible accommodation.
Supermarkets, cafés, parks and public transport within easy reach.
The room choice also means students don't have to follow one particular style of living. Shared en-suite accommodation offers more interaction with flatmates, while the studio option gives residents greater control over their own space.
Electric Press student accommodation offers several en-suite categories alongside a Deluxe Studio. The en-suite rooms are part of shared accommodation, giving residents a private bathroom while communal facilities are shared with flatmates.
Students searching for Electric Press en-suite Sheffield accommodation can choose from different room categories, with prices beginning at £99 per week.

Students who receive a university place through Clearing often need to arrange accommodation soon afterwards. This can be particularly important in Sheffield, where room availability can change as students confirm their places and begin making bookings.

Availability can change during the Clearing period, so it's worth checking the latest room options, tenancy dates and prices before making a booking.
Electric Press is well placed for students who need to travel beyond the immediate area. Tram stops, bus routes and Sheffield Railway Station provide connections across the city and further afield.

The right accommodation depends on how you expect to spend your time during university. If you enjoy having other students around but still want your own bathroom, the en-suite rooms at Electric Press offer a shared living setup without giving up that personal space.
The Deluxe Studio takes a different approach. With its own kitchen and en-suite bathroom, it suits students who would rather keep their daily routine independent. The difference in room types also means students can compare the cost of shared and self-contained accommodation before deciding how they want to live.
The property is also worth considering if location is high on your list. The University of Sheffield's main campus is 0.66 miles away, while Sheffield Hallam University's campuses can be reached through the city's public transport network. Supermarkets, cafés, parks and transport stops are also nearby, so most regular errands don't require a long journey.
There is a practical side to living here as well. Electricity, gas, heating, water and Wi-Fi are included in the rent, while the on-site laundry, bike storage and maintenance service take care of some of the less interesting parts of student life. The lounge, cinema room and pool table then give you somewhere to go when you want to spend time outside your room.
For students who want a choice between shared and private accommodation, included household bills and a location close to Sheffield's main universities, Electric Press offers a sensible option to consider.

This year I decided to live in a private accommodation instead of a student house and it was ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS EVER. The building is modern and well kept. There is a gym which I use 3 times a week and a nice cinema room which I book when inviting my friends over. The kitchen is big and spacious and we were able to host some fantastic dinners because of that. The ensuite rooms are cheap, modern and have a lot of storage space. My rooms looks empty and clean because of how much storage there is. There in under-bed storage which is a life-saver. Tesco is a minute away which is one of the best parts, I love a good Tesco trip at night and so I don't have to do massive food shops every week.

It’s been delightful living in this home. The view is worth looking at, management is super helpful and fast recently the security was also increased for all the residents. I recommend people who are reading this please book your room here at a very reasonable and safe environment.

The building is good, but my overall experience has been very disappointing. The kitchen hygiene is extremely poor, with a constant bad smell. Incidents like raw meat being left out are very disturbing and literally make me feel sick. As a vegetarian, this place is a big no — I prefer home-cooked meals but can’t even use the kitchen. Living in these conditions has been very stressful. Flatmates are rude and inconsiderate, and management doesn’t take real action — they just send emails, but nothing changes.

Living at The Electric Press has been a really positive experience for me. The location is one of the biggest advantages — it’s close to uni, shops, transport links, and everything you need as a student. The building feels modern, safe, and well-maintained, which gives you a lot of peace of mind, especially if you’re living away from home for the first time. The rooms are comfortable and designed with students in mind. I’ve found the space cosy, quiet, and perfect for studying or relaxing after a long day. The common areas are clean and a nice place to meet people, and the overall atmosphere in the building is friendly. The staff are also a big highlight. They’re helpful, responsive, and genuinely care about making sure students have a good living experience. Any issues are resolved quickly, and communication is always clear. Overall, I highly recommend The Electric Press to any student looking for a convenient, safe, and welcoming place to stay. It really does feel like a home away from home!
