The Broomhill area of Sheffield is home to some of the
most desirable student accommodation in Sheffield.
In particular, the pleasant and leafy Marlborough Road is
the location of some of the most attractive and imposing Victorian residential
properties, and which provides one of the most sociable mixes of residential
and student housing in Sheffield
PC Properties are one of the leading providers of student housing Sheffield, and can offer a comprehensive range of student accommodation in this
very convenient and desirable area.
PC Properties own No. 6, Marlborough Road which is a large
and superior three storey seven bedroom student house located at the end of
Marlborough Road where it meets with Northumberland Road. This property
provides excellent facilities and is in close proximity to The University of
Sheffield main campuses.
The tenants of many student
properties Sheffield living on Marlborough Road may be unaware that Marlborough
Road is where one of our greatest athletes of modern times lived during his
school and teen years. This is of course, none other than Olympic and World
middle distance Champion, Sebastian Coe.
Seb Coe lived with his parents for many years on
Marlborough Road and went to school locally, attending Tapton and Abbeydale
Grange schools. During his early years, Seb coached by his Father Peter Coe,
endured a punishing training schedule here in Sheffield which during those
early cold and dark winter mornings and his arduous route would take him
through large areas of student accommodationSheffield
Seb Coe’s most notable achievements in the world of
athletics as a middle distance runner was to win four Olympic Gold medals
including the 1500 metres gold medal at the Olympic Games in 1980 and 1984, and
set eight outdoor and three indoor world records also in middle distance track
events.
Since retiring from athletics in 1990, Sebastian Coe was
awarded the MBE in 1990 and was created a life peer in 2000 and was then given
the title of Baron Coe of Ranmore Surrey. In 2006, he was appointed a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire
in the New Year's Honours List for services to sport. He is now chairman of the
London organizing committee for the Olympic Games being hosted by London in
2012
The house in which Seb Coe grew up in has Marlborough Road
has since utilised for student flats Sheffield,although is now understood to have returned to private residential
accommodation.
There cannot be many Sheffield
student houses which can lay claim to being the
home of one the world’s greatest middle distance athletes.
