The leafy Fulwood ward includes the districts of Fulwood, Lodge Moor, and Ranmoor and is located in the far western part of the city near Derbyshire’s Peak District.

Totley is also an attractive area in the southwest part of city of Sheffield bordering with Derbyshire, and Dore is a beautiful village on the edge of western Sheffield also bordering with Derbyshire.

All three Sheffield locations are so well-to-do they boast some of the most expensive house prices across the city.
