PLATTS FARM - BRADFIELD SHEFFIELD S6
Platts Farm is believed to date back to 1347 where it was within the stewardship of the Knights Hospitallers of St. John of Jerusalem. The property has been home to historical figures including the Earl of Shrewsbury, Bess of Hardwick, Duke of Norfolk and was utilised as an alehouse during the 17th century, before being converted to a farm with two adjoining cottages in the 19th century. Presently, the property has been rebuilt and refurbished by the current owners to create generously proportioned accommodation with a wealth of period features.
Situated in Ughill within the stunning Peak District National Park and having access to the amenities of Bradfield and being located with good access to Leeds and Manchester via local motorway networks and a short drive to Sheffield’s facilities and highly acclaimed private schools, state schools, hospitals and universities. An additional short drive provides easy access to surrounding towns, villages and hamlets within the Peak District National Park.

THE MARKET REVIEW
The uncertainty of when the UK will withdraw from the European Union and the circumstances in which we will do so continues to affect the stability of the property market.
The market is proving that people are still motivated to move, with Sheffield, South Yorkshire and Derbyshire proving to be some of the country’s most desirable places to live and work. Current local property hotspots consist of Dore and Totley in S17, Whirlow and Ecclesall in S11, Nether Edge and Millhouses in S7, Ranmoor and Fulwood in S10 and Hathersage and Grindleford in S32.
The North of England’s housing market continues to remain resolute and the forecast for our region is to outperform the South by a considerable margin. We forecast an average house price rise of 2 per cent over the year, which will be an impressive achievement, especially when compared to the South and London.
Sheffield, South Yorkshire and Derbyshire’s property markets have benefited significantly in recent years from increased buyer confidence with property prices achieving secure returns on investments. Sheffield has an ability to attract people from far and wide with its high quality housing stock, good schooling and quality amenities. Our green and vibrant city continues to be resilient to national political pressures and demonstrates a wonderful ability to attract people to move and stay to enjoy its easy access to the city centre and its unique location to the Peak District National Park.
At Blenheim Park Estates, we are pleased to report that the housing market remains positive, although we are now operating within an increasingly challenging market. We have experienced a similar number of properties coming to the market as we saw prior to the Brexit vote and the number of buyers viewing our properties also reports high numbers.

Relocating to Sheffield If you are moving into Sheffield from out of the city, there are plenty of exciting places to explore when you have settled in. If you haven’t decided where in Sheffield you would like to move to, we will give you some insight into some of the most popular neighbourhoods within the city.
Places of Interest Sheffield City Centre The heart of Sheffield’s culture is its city centre, with its variety of retail, dining and nightlife facilities. In recent years, the cityscape has undergone a large scheme of redevelopment under the name of Heart of the City. The project began at the turn of century where the first phase commenced and saw the demolition of the ‘Egg Box’ building and the redevelopment of St Paul’s Garden into The Peace Gardens. Phase Two saw further significant investment to develop St Paul’s Hotel, office blocks, Café Rouge restaurant, The Cheese Grater car park and Sheffield’s tallest residential building – St Paul’s Tower. The city is currently experiencing Phase Three of re-gentrification and will include the construction of a new HSBC Head Office building, new retail facilities, refurbishment of existing retail units, leisure facilities, residential apartments, a hotel, car parking facilities and green public spaces. The city has a selection of great attractions, some of which are the Winter Garden, Millenium Gallery, Peace Gardens and the two theatres - the Crucible and Lyceum, which host in-house productions and shows touring around the UK. Of course one of Sheffield’s biggest attractions for both students and professionals are its two universities, Sheffield Hallam University and the University of Sheffield.
Kelham Island One of Sheffield’s oldest manufacturing sites, formed in the 1100s, Kelham Island has recently undergone a scheme of transformation. This has resulted in the creation of an area in Sheffield, which embraces its industrial history whilst providing a vibrant place for residing and socialising. Kelham Island has recently been nominated as the UK’s greatest neighbourhood by the Urbanism Awards. Residential accommodation in the area consists of fashionable apartments situated within new developments and converted old factory buildings. A specific place of interest is the Kelham Island Museum. Here you can educate yourself on Sheffield’s industrial history and heritage and take a look at the Bessemer Converter and Europe’s largest working steam engine that are on display. The social scene here boasts many great places to dine and drink including The Cutlery Works, The Riverside, The Fat Cat, Gardeners Rest and The Old Workshop. Kelham Island is also home to the popular Peddler night market, where different types of street food and craft beer can be enjoyed alongside live music.
10
Antiques Quarter South of the city centre is the Antiques Quarter. The quarter consists of eight antique centres filled with historical treasures, bargains and unusual finds that you could spend hours browsing. Once you have exhausted the antique hunting, there are a number of bars and cafes lining the streets offering craft beers, cocktails, home baked goods, afternoon tea at the renowned Jameson’s tearoom, lunches and street food. Taking place every first Sunday of the month is the Pedlar’s Corner Car boot and Flea market with over 70 stalls selling antiques, vintage and retro items and arts and crafts. There is also a quarterly Antiques Quarter Vintage Market. Standing in the heart of the quarter is the Abbeydale Picture House. Originally opened in 1920 and is Sheffield’s oldest cinema. In the present day, the venue holds regular film screenings and cultural events. Also within the Abbeydale Picture House is a converted former ballroom and billiard hall currently known as the Picture House Social. This independent venue has a range of live music, craft beer, cocktails and Italian inspired street food. There’s also a games room where you can challenge your friends to a game of Ping-Pong.
Ecclesall Road A vibrant stretch of independent and chain restaurants, bars, pubs, coffee houses and shops. If you love food and drink, Ecclesall Road is the place to be. There’s a wide range of restaurants with varying flavours from spicy Indian food to traditional British food to smoky BBQ. Easily accessed from Ecclesall Road is the Sheffield Botanical Gardens, a beautiful green space, listed as a Grade II site of special architectural and historical interest. The gardens are populated with over 5000 species of plants, fountains and glass pavilions. Close by to the Botanical Gardens is Endcliffe Park, which is perfect for a stroll with the family. Another popular place for walking is Ecclesall Woods, a deciduous woodland with over 15km of public footpaths and a discovery centre. Also off Ecclesall Road, there is Sharrow Vale Road where there is a range of small businesses and boutiques. Three times a year there’s a street market with a variety of stalls and entertainment.
Peak District National Park The beauty of Sheffield is that you can be out of the city centre and into open countryside within a 30-minute drive. The Peak District National Park has a lot to offer from market towns such as Bakewell and Matlock, to breath-taking walks at Stanage Edge and Mam Tor. The National Park is popular with cyclists and walkers as it offers lots of picturesque trails with challenging hills. It is also home to the beautiful Chatsworth House and gardens, where multimedia tours can be enjoyed to learn the history of this magnificent stately home. The attraction also hosts a varied calendar of events throughout the year including a Country Fair, Christmas Market and the RHS Chatsworth Flower Show. In the Hope Valley, sits Castleton where the world famous Blue John Cavern is located. The Cavern is home to eight of the fourteen varieties of Blue John stone and is steeped in history. Guided tours are available throughout the cave system at short regular intervals.
11
Neighbourhoods There are many neighbourhoods within Sheffield that are all unique in their own way. Some of the most sought-after areas are listed below.
this area stretches into the Peak District, making for easy access to the majestic national park. The area includes Whirlowdale Road, one of the most prestigious roads in Sheffield with a variety of large detached and semi-detached properties. In addition, Ecclesall Road is included in this postcode, allowing residents the benefit of visiting superb restaurants such as Miller and Carter, Brocco on the Park, Nonnas, The Fox House and Bistrot Pierre.
S1 For people who like to be in the middle of it all, S1 is perfect. As do most city centres, it predominately consists of apartments. The most notable accommodation in S1 is St Paul’s Tower, which is the tallest building in Sheffield and comprises of 316 luxury apartments. The compact nature of our city means that there is easy access to the key areas of the city such as The Moor, Sheffield Cathedral, West Street, Division Street and St Paul’s Square and is an attractive benefit to many city lovers.
S17 This neighbourhood is inclusive of Dore, Totley, Bradway and Owler Bar. Dore is one of the most historic and beautiful areas within Sheffield. This sought-after village was previously part of Derbyshire until the early 1930’s and is believed to be where the King Ecgbert of Wessex became England’s first king. Dore, Totley and Bradway are great localities for people who commute to Manchester and London, as the Dore train station is only 5-10 minutes away. Properties within this area range from some of the most exclusive homes in the city to generously proportioned family homes.
S10 Comprising of leafy suburbs such as Endcliffe, Ranmoor, Fulwood, Lodge Moor, Crookes and Crosspool, S10 is a neighbourhood that is very popular with families and people who want a balance of city life and countryside. Residents in the area have access to some of the most highly regarded Primary and Secondary schools in Sheffield, including King Edward VII Schools, Birkdale School, Westbourne School, Sheffield High School for Girls and Notre Dame High School. Families with older children also benefit from the accessibility to education, with the campuses for the Universities being located within close proximity. Many of Sheffield’s hospitals are situated within S10, making the location very sought-after by health care professionals.
Wherever you are relocating to Sheffield from, there is no doubt that the city is a great one to move to. Investment within Sheffield continues to be strong on a commercial and personal level. The property market also seems to be unaffected by the uncertainty of Brexit, as homes are still achieving good prices and properties come to the market daily.
S11 South of S10 is S11, which comprises of localities such as Ecclesall, Whirlow, Parkhead, Brincliffe, Bents Green and Fox House. Similar to S10,

THE MASTER CUTLER’S CHALLENGE 2019
In 2008, Gordon Bridge invited the businesses of Sheffield’s city region to transform a £50 investment into as much fundraising as they could for two local charities.
The Master Cutler’s Challenge has become an annual tradition for the local business community and we are proud to be taking part in such a worthwhile challenge.
Businesses could use whatever means they wanted to do, within legal limits of course. But beyond the law and standard good manners, there was nothing to stop them turning the streets of Sheffield into a giant monopoly game, waxing legs, hitch hiking or riding a bike for 32 hours.
“As an employer and service provider within Sheffield, I feel that it is important to give something back to the local community. Fundraising for charity is hugely rewarding and The Master Cutler’s Challenge is going to be a fabulous experience for all of us at Blenheim. I am personally, very much looking forward to participating in the challenge and contributing as much as I can along the way”. - Adrian Richardson Marketing Manager, Blenheim Park Estates.
This is the 12th year of the challenge and Blenheim Park Estates and Blenheim Park Developments are delighted to be taking part and are very much looking forward to raising funds for two outstanding charities, St Luke’s Hospice in Sheffield and Rotherham Hospice. These two charities make a great difference and touch so many lives; they provide exceptional end of life care with excellent services, support and pioneering approaches to palliative care.

THE CASTLEGATE REGENERATION PROJECT
Although Sheffield is famed for steel production, the invention of stainless steel and an industrial and cultural heritage, the city has deep roots to the middle ages.
development with the only visible evidence being found in the market’s basements. The Castlegate Regeneration Project has earmarked a significant step forward in Sheffield City Council’s plans to regenerate the Castlegate area. The ambitious plans to rediscover the lost castle have stimulated public interest in the site, especially in relation to archaeological digs to unearth the hidden remains. The project has also provided the opportunity to create a visitor attraction of historical interest as well as creating new green spaces for the enjoyment of residents and visitors.
South Yorkshire has several motte-and-bailey castles. The majority have been constructed by earth and wood, however at least four were fortified in stone: Conisbrough, Peel Hill in Thorne, Tickhill and Sheffield. As South Yorkshire was Earl Waltheof ’s power base, the majority of the above-mentioned castles are assumed to have their origins either during or after the Harrying of the North. It is believed that their main purpose was to impose Norman authority on a potentially turbulent area. If the first of Sheffield’s castles dates from this time then, presumably, this would have been its primary purpose.
The Castle Market closed in November 2013 as the new Moor Market opened its doors and market traders relocated to the new site. The Sheffield City Council are to invest almost £800,000 from its Capital Growth Fund to transform the area, as a digital hub, whilst derelict and vacant buildings are now being brought back into use along with the old town hall. This section of the city will also provide a new ‘green gateway’ to the central business, shopping and leisure areas of Sheffield. The second phase of the £5.8 million pound Grey to Green project has now commenced with a scheme to link Castlegate to the underused Victoria Quays area and transform the former inner ring road with sustainable drainage, floral meadows, segregated cycle lanes and public art. Contractor, North Midland Construction, began work after £5.8m funding was confirmed from the European Regional Development Fund, £2.8m of which is Sheffield’s City Region Local Growth Funding, as well as contributions from Sheffield City Council and the Canal and Rivers Trust.
Little is known about Sheffield Castle as there are few documentary sources to examine. It may well be the case that documents were removed or destroyed, either during the civil war or during the castle’s demolition. However Sheffield Castle was in no doubt a very significant site. It was large enough to accommodate Mary Queen of Scots and her entourage, which would also indicate that the castle was more than defensively adequate with the location being too far from the coast for the Spanish or French to spring a surprise attack, which would have been far more of a possibility for defences located closer to the coast or towards the Scottish border. Sheffield Castle was demolished by Oliver Cromwell’s Parliamentarian forces after the English Civil War. The Castle became largely forgotten over time to the extent that a century later, there was no trace of what had been the largest castle in South Yorkshire and one of the largest in England. The castle’s remains were covered during the 1960’s by the Castle Market
The scheme will provide better links to the many hotels in Castlegate and improve bus, pedestrian and cycling access from the north east to the city centre and also towards Kelham Island.

motivated to get through the next set of miles. The route itself took you through some stunning scenery, including Dovedale, which is a place I have always wanted to walk! I am proud to say that I have walked a marathon and whilst doing so, have raised money for a fantastic cause.” - Emma
The event consisted of a 27 mile hike, starting from Darley Moor and ending in Bakewell.
“I have been thinking about running a Marathon for some time now and when we looked into the Mighty Hike the thought of walking rather than running instantly appealed. Although the exertion was less than running, the time it took to complete became the real challenge and the last 6 miles were a lot harder than the previous 21 put together. The thought of refreshments kept me going and I was really impressed with the food, drinks and facilities provided. I enjoyed it so much I’m considering signing up for another one next year.” - Adrian
The money that we raise from the event will be contributed to John Burkhill’s Magic Million Goal. John has been fundraising for Macmillan for 28 years and since his wife and daughter passed away, he has dedicated his life to raising money for the charity. John is often seen walking around Sheffield wearing his green wig, with his pram for people to donate into. “The overall experience of the Mighty Hike was amazing. The organisation of the event was incredible and the pit stops were a great way to keep you

BLENHEIM PARK DEVELOPMENTS
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL 45
Live the Dream FROM BUYING AND SELLING PROPERTIES TO DESIGNING YOUR IDEAL HOME, BLENHEIM OFFER THE WHOLE PROPERTY PACKAGE.
Michael Harrison and Jayne Thornes with their Labradoodle - Hector
“When we first got the house we sat down with Paul and discussed what we wanted from it, and everything evolved as we went along. He pays great attention to detail, he’s fantastic with that. You can put your trust in him and he’s going to do a great job,’ says Jayne.
Blenheim Park Developments have built a reputation across Sheffield, Yorkshire and Derbyshire for designing and building luxury homes of their clients’ dreams. Creating beautiful homes of exceptional quality, yet managing to do so at an affordable price, Blenheim’s in-house team cover all aspects of your home build project, taking control of the architecture, design, planning, project management, interior design and landscaping, all to ensure that you get the home you’ve been dreaming of.
“We bought the basic house and then it was gutted completely back to the stonework. Our old house was ancient, 500 years old. This house has all underfloor heating, computer wiring, all of the latest technologies, sound systems, it’s the complete opposite, there’s no work involved in living in this house,” Michael goes on to say.
You may have found the perfect plot and you’re looking to build from the ground up, or perhaps you’ve fallen in love with a home’s exterior but think the interior needs some TLC. Blenheim can transform homes from traditional to contemporary, and fully reconfigure a home for you and your lifestyle, and that’s exactly what they did for Michael Harrison and Jayne Thornes.
“Not only are Blenheim involved throughout the process, but they ensure you’ve one single point of contact from conception to completion, and they consistently bring fresh ideas and advice to the table, taking genuine care and pride in all that they do”.
Having spent years living in a large house in Hathersage, the couple decided that they wanted to downsize and move back to Sheffield. Impressed by the quality of work that they’d seen from Blenheim across the area, Michael and Jayne put all of their trust in Paul Blackburn and his team, selling their house with Blenheim Park Estates and using Blenheim Park Developments to find their perfect new address and construct their ideal new home.
“If you look at this house, look at the lampshades and the architraves – normal builders wouldn’t do that. Normally, you’d get a builder and he’d just do what you tell him to do, and if you don’t know what you want, you’ll get a square room, a plug socket in each doorway and that’s it. Whereas these guys, they’re looking at the whole vision.” “The whole team at Blenheim Park Developments do their best to work with their clients, rather than simply working for them.”
“Paul and his team were looking for a house that we could modernise. This was an old Victorian place, which was dated. It didn’t quite have the size but the plot was lovely and square, it’s in a great location and we could create what we wanted with it ” Michael tells us.
Michael and Jayne, along with their lovely Labradoodle, Hector, showed us around their stunning home, it was clear to see that everyone’s hard work has well and truly paid off.

There are many reasons that people choose to live in an apartment rather than a house.
proximity to your neighbours, the probability of developing relationships and long term connections increases. This can be a great bonus to elderly residents who may be living on their own and want to socialise in their local area.
For years apartments have been seen as first and last homes, where typically younger couples will buy an apartment to make their first step onto the property ladder. Similarly, many older people will look to apartments as a final home once their children leave home and they are ready to downsize and have a lower maintenance lifestyle.
Low Maintenance As with many apartments, maintenance is usually low as many aspects of maintaining the building and apartments is covered in the service charge. This tends to be a big positive when people are moving away from homes with gardens when they are unable to keep up with the task of maintaining a garden. It also enables residents to leave their home for holidays without having to worry about coming back to an overgrown garden.
Security Apartments tend to offer a sense of security as typically there are several layers of entry with a secure main entry door, communal areas, further doors and then a secure door to your apartment. This extra security gives peace of mind for people looking to holiday throughout the year, knowing their home is safe and secure.
Parking One of the problems some homeowners come across when living in a house without a driveway or garage is parking. In many apartments, parking bays are often designated to each resident, along with a visitor parking space or general parking area.
Community With apartments, diverse communities will often form. By living within close
