You can't do it with SFML. The best workaround is to use the OpenGL function glScissor.

Doh... I don't know OpenGL.. I've put off learning it for a while..
I guess it's time to do a tad of research.

It's very simple, no need to learn anything about OpenGL

glEnable(GL_SCISSOR_TEST);
glScissor(left, top, width, height);
// draw your stuff
glDisable(GL_SCISSOR_TEST);
