The picturesque Victorian structure, acquired in 2016, will house up to 30 users for relaxation, activities and support just yards from it’s base on Little Common Lane.
Clifford House, formerly owned by Gripple boss Hugh Facey, was keen to sell the building to St Luke’s and constructed an impressive state-of-the-art home on grounds next door. The building was once owned by Charles Clifford.
Many Sheffielder will know him for the dental hospital but he was once the chairman of the Morning Telegraph and Star.
