Reviving a Historic Landmark: 32 Luxury Apartments at Dragoon Court, Hillsborough Barracks
Property investors looking for their next opportunity in Sheffield’s burgeoning residential market should keep a close eye on the impressive transformation taking place at Hillsborough Barracks. Utility Source is proud to play a key role in this landmark redevelopment, facilitating BT registration, water installations and electrical installations for an exciting new chapter in this historic site’s evolution.
A Legacy Reimagined
Originally constructed in 1848, Hillsborough Barracks served the British Army for nearly a century before being decommissioned in the 1930s. Over time, this iconic Grade II listed site has become a vibrant complex of retail and business spaces—while still maintaining its rich architectural character.
Now, the latest proposal aims to reintroduce residential life to the Barracks through the conversion of Dragoon Court, a stately portion of the site that once housed military offices. The development will see the conversion of existing office space into 32 modern, one-bedroom apartments.
Sensitive Design, Strong Returns
What sets this project apart for investors is the careful preservation of the building’s historic integrity. Minimal external alterations have been proposed, allowing the development to maintain its period charm while delivering modern comforts inside. This blend of old and new is increasingly attractive to today’s renters, who seek character without sacrificing convenience.
The demand for high-quality, centrally located rental properties in Sheffield continues to rise, making this a prime investment opportunity. With the addition of these thoughtfully designed apartments, Dragoon Court is positioned to become a sought-after residential address within a well-established commercial hub.
