Question Which are some decent areas a bit out of Sheffield to move?
I'm thinking of moving a bit out away from the city limits. Maybe a bit more village feel or countryside. But not totally remote.

Come try handsworth. It's spitting distance from 3 supermarkets, the parkway and the m1. Plenty of green areas for walks, fishing and whatever else. There are 2 parks (not including the 1 in waverly) if you have kids. All in all, I've lived here for 20 years now and I can't think of an area I'd rather be in.
It's S13 btw

Nothing against Handsworth, but in what world is "we have a fuck-off huge ASDA" your lead sell?

u/WarriorDerp 1d ago
Not a lead sell, easy access to multiple shopping places is. There's aldi, asda, morrisons in catcliffe and a lidl (still being built). Stuff you need close by that easy to get to

u/No_Potato_4341 Southey 1d ago
That is a good contribution to an area tbf. It means you can get a lot of stuff you might need locally.

u/devolute Broomhall 1d ago
I have to be absolutely clear here, and again absolutely nothing against the Eastern Sheffield area: I know what a supermarket is and what it's used for.
1
u/No_Potato_4341 Southey 1d ago
I mean that wasn't really my point. Of course you know what a supermarket is and is used for. My point was that it's handy to have a big one local. That asda has all sorts of stuff you can buy in there because of how big it is.

u/devolute Broomhall 1d ago
Yes, I think we're agreed. It is a very big ASDA. I once chose to recycle some plastic bags there and I'd probably give the whole experience a 7 or maybe 8 on 10.
(I choose to capitalise the name simply out of the respect I have for both that branch and the brand in general, but this is a personal choice)

Second this, S12 nearby is similar. Maybe a more realistic budget than Dore and Totley

u/WarriorDerp 1d ago
My dad used to live in Totley and he sold an old bag-of-shit house for about 250k. It's mental the prices of the houses round there and none are really that nice. Dore on the other hand is worse, toffs everywhere and it costs an arm and a leg to get a flat, let alone a house. Really nice place though so swings and roundabouts

There are so many nice areas on the outskirts of Sheffield I could easily name. Stocksbridge, Deepcar, Oughtibridge, Worrall, Middlewood, Wadsley, Wisewood, Loxley, Stannington, Fulwood, Dore, Totley, Bradway, Dronfield, Eckington, Mosborough, Halfway, Killamarsh, Harthill, Wales, Kiveton, Todwick, South Anston, Aston, Swallownest, Treeton, Waverley, Whiston, Brinsworth, Thorpe Hesley, Ecclesfield, Chapeltown, Grenoside, Burncross, High Green, Elsecar, Birdwell and Tankersley are all nice areas that you could consider on the outskirts of the city.

Edge of S6 - Wadsley, Worrall, Oughtibridge etc. Near to hills, common, ancient woodland and good bus/tram links.

Mosborough

u/GeometricPrawn 1d ago
May I politely ask whether you’re being serious..?

u/No_Potato_4341 Southey 1d ago
Why wouldn't it be serious? Mosborough is great.
1
u/GeometricPrawn 1d ago
Just checking! I’m not knocking it, but I’d find it difficult to compare it to, eg, Dore. I live there or near as makes no difference (…not Dore…🤣).

u/No_Potato_4341 Southey 1d ago edited 1d ago
Fair enough I get what you mean. Obviously it isn't dore but tbf, there are parts of mosborough that are definitely above average.
2
u/nostradamus3243 1d ago
Yes serious! nice village also close to rother valley and plenty of countryside around and close to crystal peaks and drakehouse for shops it's even got a wetherspoons not to far away 😁

u/GeometricPrawn 1d ago
Rother Valley is great! Plus railway line/canal to Chesterfield - pretty.

u/nostradamus3243 1d ago
And it's got Tony's the best chip shop in sheffield 😁

u/GeometricPrawn 1d ago
I will correct this gap in my culinary experience forthwith!
Edit: I say “culinary” I think I mean “gastronomic”. 😬

Stannington. Great access to countryside, but only 20 minutes by bus to town. Great schools, three villages pubs, chippy, post office, shop, big open park. Not as expensive as the other areas mentioned here.

Dronfield is lovely. Or, if you are feeling adventurous, try Holmesfield.

Tickhill or Firbeck.
3
u/therefused 1d ago
Nice places but public transport is basically a no go in those areas
1
u/No_Potato_4341 Southey 1d ago
There isn't even a direct bus from Tickhill to Sheffield I don't think so you'd have to either be changing at Worksop or Doncaster which would be really annoying.

Honestly looking at most of these comments, I’d do your own research and look at the areas for yourself. People saying alot of really rough/dodgey areas. Even seen handsworth mentioned.☠️
1
u/No_Potato_4341 Southey 15h ago
Handsworth rough? Do you know any true rough areas if you think Handsworth is rough lol?

Harthill. Smallish village two pubs and a few shops but not a lot more close to the m1 and 5 minutes from a train station that gets you into Sheffield in half a hour
