A notable suburb in the West of Sheffield, Ranmoor was developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Along many of its streets are impressive, stone residences that were intricately crafted in the Victorian and Edwardian eras and now serve as spacious family homes. Dotted throughout the area are more contemporary developments that have been sensitively designed to sit in harmony with Ranmoor’s old-worldly charm.
A striking church sits at the centre of Ranmoor – its spire is a prominent feature in Sheffield’s skyline and can be seen when entering the city from the Peak District. Originally constructed in 1877 in the English Gothic architectural style, the church was devastated by fire just 10 years later and rebuilt with its surviving tower and tall spire.
Within the residential area is a row of amenities along Fulwood Road. With a choice of three public houses, a bar, a deli, hair and beauty salons and a butcher’s, Ranmoor is well served with everything you could need. Highly acclaimed locally, Ranmoor Friery brings a portion of the seaside to the area with their freshly made fish and chips.
Ranmoor is centrally located between many outdoor spaces, such as Endcliffe Park, Bingham Park, Forge Dam and Sheffield Botanical Gardens, all reachable within a short drive or cycle. The Peak District is also only 15 minutes away by car. For keen golfers, one of Yorkshire’s finest golf courses, Hallamshire Golf Club, is nearby.
Highly coveted by professionals, Ranmoor is an ideal place to commute to Sheffield’s main NHS hospitals and private hospitals. For educators or families with children looking to study, the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University are also just a short distance away. There is superb infrastructure within Ranmoor, providing useful transport links that allow residents to travel around the city effortlessly.
