The Straddle is a unique Grade II Listed building and was originally built by the Sheffield Navigation Company in c.1895 and was used as a grain warehouse at the canal basin until c.1970.  It was subsequently converted into offices.

The building now provides 1,923 sq m (20,705 sq ft) office space.  It is accessed from a double height reception area with two feature lifts and provides access to the upper floors. The office accommodation is arranged over four upper floors with attractive light floor plates commanding spectacular views over the canal basin and beyond. The core areas at each end of the building provide for usual toilet provision and the building is fully accessible.  There is a kitchen on each floor.

The offices have district heating, opening windows with secondary double glazing, fixed floor trunking and lighting.  There are 8 car parking spaces immediately outside the property and rights to a further 33 spaces in the Victoria Quays multi storey car park.

The building requires refurbishment or may suit conversion for alternative use, subject to obtaining the necessary consents.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
