Leisure
The magnificent Grade II listed buildings that housed the former Sheffield Boys School have been rejuvenated to provide a mixed-use residential and leisure scheme - set to be one of Sheffield’s hottest new entertainment destinations.
Eight niche, independent, up-market bars and restaurants will entice everyone from the lunch-time diner and office worker to shoppers and those looking to join a vibrant night-time crowd.
Central to the scheme, which also includes contemporary loft-style apartments by Gleeson Homes, is the £1m Barcelona-inspired square, which includes a water feature and solid bronze benches, allowing people the chance to enjoy alfresco drinking and dining.
Everything has been designed to be in keeping with the original architecture and nowhere is this better reflected than in the stunning 90 bed boutique hotel – The Leopold, with its original oak paneling and beautiful iron and stone staircases all integrated sensitively within the new design.
