A former Sheffield vicarage, largely untouched for decades, is going under the hammer this month. The property offers a fascinating snapshot of 1970s and 1980s home life alongside the opportunity to turn a substantial period building into a family home.
The Old Vicarage on Highgate, Tinsley, was built as the home for the vicar of nearby St Lawrence’s Church. Featuring generous period proportions and original character, the property is set to be included in an online auction held by BTG Eddisons Property Auctions.
While offering considerable modernisation potential, much of the interior remains remarkably untouched. Its period décor, original fittings, and room layout create a preserved time capsule of family life from half a century ago.
The four-bedroom property carries a guide price of £290,000. It sits on almost half an acre of mature grounds, complete with a private driveway, a garage, and two outbuildings.
“There’s something very poignant about walking into a house like this and seeing so much of its past still there,” said Adrian Little, auctioneer and director at BTG Eddisons Property Auctions. “The décor is a real snapshot of another era and, rather than simply being dated, it gives you a sense of the people and family life that have been part of the house over the years. It was a vicarage, so it has a real sense of history and some lovely proportions, and there’s a huge amount of space both inside and out.”
Tucked away on a quiet no-through road in an established residential area of Tinsley, the site is in proximity to the M1 motorway, Meadowhall Shopping Centre, and central Sheffield.
Bidding for The Old Vicarage opens at 10 am on 13th October and closes on 14th October. Further information and registration details are available online via btgeddisonspropertyauctions.com.
