Moving in Crookes
Crookes is the beating heart of University of Sheffield student life. The S10 postcode around Broomhill, Broomhall, and Crookes is where UoS second-years graduate from halls into shared houses — typically 4–6 bed Victorian terraces on streets like Rustlings Road, Sholebroke Avenue, and School Road. Moves here are almost exclusively students doing the June move-out and September move-in shuffle. Academic calendar timing is everything: book 4–6 weeks ahead for late June.
Local Housing Stock
Predominantly Victorian and Edwardian terraces converted to student HMOs — 4–6 bedrooms, shared bathroom, communal kitchen. Some large semis on Glossop Road and Broomhill Road rented to postgraduate students or young professionals. Very few owner-occupier properties in the core student zone.
Van Access
Crookes is a high-density student area built on steep Victorian terrace streets. Key access challenges: Crookes Valley Road, School Road, and Crookes Road have tight on-street parking with cars on both sides. Many houses have no front garden and loading is directly from the pavement. Back-to-back terraces in lower Crookes have rear ginnel access only — not accessible to vans. Broomhill side streets (Glossop Road area) are wider but still restricted by parked cars.
Parking Info
Permit zone (Sheffield Zone B) covers most of Crookes and Broomhill — valid for non-resident stops up to 1–2 hours during enforcement hours (Mon–Fri 8am–6pm). We hold temporary dispensations for full move days. Student move-out (June) and move-in (September) are the busiest parking periods. Crookes Road has double yellows on the main carriageway.

“End of second year move out of a 5-bed on School Road — all booked at the same time as my housemates. Driver was fast, knew exactly how to navigate the street, and split the costs clearly between us. Definitely using again next year.”
