Most Expensive Streets in Sheffield: New Top 10

The most expensive street in Sheffield is Belgrave Drive, in the S10 postcode, where two standard residential sales since 2020 average £2,277,500. The highest individual sale is a different answer to a different question: £3 million for a detached house on Dore Road in the S17 postcode. This page shows both, street by street, on the latest Land Registry data.

We analysed 49,845 standard residential sales recorded in the latest HM Land Registry price paid data for the Sheffield postal town, covering January 2020 to May 2026. Streets were ranked by average sold price, and each needed at least two qualifying sales to make the list. If it is the wider investable market you are weighing up rather than the very top end, our Sheffield buy-to-let guide covers the rest of the city in the same data-led way.

Article updated: July 2026.

The premium streets cluster on the city's south-western side. The Whirlow name in S11 accounts for three of the ten, S10 around Ranmoor holds Belgrave Drive and Snaithing Lane, and the S17 postcode near Dore now supplies three more. Between them, these ten streets recorded average sold prices from £1.19 million to £2.28 million, and below we run through the full top ten, the highest individual sales on each street, the total value changing hands, and where that cluster sits next to the rest of the Sheffield market.

Top 10 Most Expensive Streets in Sheffield

Updated July 2026

Date range: 1st January 2020 to 22nd May 2026. Based on the latest Land Registry price paid data at the time of research. This table includes standard residential sales only (Category A transactions) to reflect genuine home purchases rather than portfolio or commercial acquisitions.

Note: Only streets with two or more standard residential sales in this period are included in this table.

The pattern is a compact wedge, not a scatter of trophy addresses. The Whirlow name in S11 accounts for three entries on its own, the S17 postcode around Dore supplies three more, and S10 around Ranmoor holds two. It is also a tightly held market: across all ten streets, just 39 sales completed in nearly six and a half years, and four of the streets reached the list on two sales apiece. That is why the sale count sits beside every average below, and why the profiles that follow read those sales in order rather than trusting the headline figure on its own.

Belgrave Drive

Belgrave Drive tops the table on two sales, both from 2022: £2,755,000 in April and £1,800,000 in September. Those two figures average £2,277,500, which is £494,167 clear of second place, but the street has not recorded a standard sale since. A two-sale average is a thin foundation, and both numbers are now the best part of four years old, so the £2.28 million figure is best read as what the street's last two houses fetched rather than a settled going rate. It is still the highest street average anywhere in the Sheffield data.

Whirlow Croft

Whirlow Croft's three sales are worth reading in order: £1.35 million in December 2020, £1.5 million in April 2023, then £2.5 million in July 2025. That £2.5 million sale is one of the most recent large transactions anywhere in the ranking. A street that records only three sales in six and a half years will never trade often, but when it has, the numbers have stepped up each time.

Snaithing Lane

Snaithing Lane in S10 recorded seven sales, and the spread is the story: from £675,000 up to £1.95 million, paid in February 2021. A £1,945,000 sale followed in December 2022, so the street has cleared £1.9 million twice, while a £775,000 sale in November 2023 sits near the bottom. A range that wide is worth remembering whenever a street average gets quoted on its own: the £1,352,857 figure sits a long way from both ends of it.

Butts Hill

Butts Hill in S17 is the clearest case for reading the sale count. Its two qualifying sales were £1,810,000 in April 2022 and £659,000 in April 2026, almost exactly four years later. The average of £1,234,500 sits midway between them and describes neither: one was a large detached house, the other a much cheaper property on the same road. It is a reminder that on a two-sale street the average is a midpoint, not a going rate, which is exactly why every figure in these tables carries its count.

The Highest Individual Property Sales in Sheffield

Updated July 2026

Date range: 1st January 2020 to 22nd May 2026. Based on the latest Land Registry price paid data at the time of research.

The highest price paid for a home anywhere in the Sheffield postal town during this period was £3 million, for a detached freehold house on Dore Road (S17) in May 2023. The table below shows the biggest single sale recorded on each of the ten ranked streets.

Note: This table shows the single highest standard residential (Category A) sale on each street in the top ten, ranked by price.

Belgrave Drive holds the largest sale on any ranked street, the £2,755,000 it recorded in April 2022, and Whirlow Croft's £2.5 million in July 2025 is the most recent transaction above £2 million anywhere in the top ten. Below them the street records bunch tightly: seven of the ten sit between £1.25 million and £1.83 million, which is what happens when a market's biggest cheques are spread across a handful of quiet streets rather than concentrated on one.

The £3 Million Record Sale on Dore Road

Sheffield's record sale did not happen on any of the ten ranked streets. The £3 million paid for a detached freehold house on Dore Road in May 2023 sits £245,000 clear of the largest sale on any ranked street, Belgrave Drive's £2,755,000. Dore Road recorded enough sales to qualify for the ranking, but its average across those sales fell below the £1,188,750 needed for tenth place. One exceptional house on a long road does not lift the whole street, and that is exactly what the average method is designed to show.

The S17 postcode around Dore is the quiet story of this year's table. Beyond the record on Dore Road itself, three S17 streets now sit in the top ten, Knowle Green, Butts Hill and Dore Lodge Gardens, each on two qualifying sales. Dore has moved from a single record-holding sale to a recurring presence at the top of the Sheffield market.

Sheffield's Record Streets: Total Value of Property Sales

Average price, record sale and total value answer three different questions. The average finds the priciest addresses; the record finds the single biggest cheque; the total finds where the most money changed hands. On the last measure, none of the ten ranked streets comes close to the city's busiest premium road.

Note: Total value is the sum of every standard residential (Category A) sale on the street in this window, computed across the ten ranked streets.

Within the top ten, Whirlow Lane leads on total value because it also has the most sales: ten transactions summing to £12 million, more than double any street outside the top two. But the highest total street value anywhere in the Sheffield postal town belongs to Fulwood Road (S10), where 195 standard sales added up to £75.5 million over the window. Fulwood Road never reaches the most-expensive-street ranking because its per-sale average sits far below the top ten, but as a long, busy road of many homes it is where the most money changed hands. Average and total measure genuinely different things.

The Most Expensive Areas to Live in Sheffield

If Sheffield has a millionaires row, the sold-price data says it is really a millionaires wedge across the city's south-west. It runs from Whirlow in S11, where three streets made the top ten, through Ranmoor and the S10 streets, and out to Dore in S17, which now supplies three of the ten plus the record sale. When people ask about the posh areas of Sheffield, this corner of the city is what the transaction record points to.

Sold prices cannot tell us who lives on a street or what they are worth. What they show is where buyers have paid the most, and on that measure the richest part of Sheffield for property is its south-western corner: four of the ten streets sit in S11, three in S17, two in S10 and one in S35, and across the whole top ten only 39 sales completed in the entire window. Years often pass between sales on the smaller closes, which is why several of these streets rank on two transactions apiece.

Worrall's place in the table is the reminder that seven-figure sales are not fenced inside the south-west. Mowson Hollow put a village address on the list with four sales averaging £1,188,750, the only entry from the northern half of the postal town.

This ranking measures sold prices, not rents or yields. For that side of the market, our Sheffield buy-to-let guide covers postcode-by-postcode sold prices, rents and yields across the wider city. The wider market that guide covers sits well below this ranking's £1.19 million entry point, and that gap is the practical use of knowing where the top end sits: an investment property in Sheffield is measured against it.

How to Find the Most Expensive Streets in Sheffield

Here is the step by step process we followed to get the data on the highest priced property sales and most expensive streets across Sheffield. You can repeat it for any town or city in England and Wales.

1. Visit the HM Land Registry price paid data set.
2. Search by town rather than postcode. We used the Sheffield postal town, which is why village addresses such as Worrall appear alongside city suburbs: they carry Sheffield postal addresses.
3. Select the residential property types: detached, semi-detached, terraced and flat/maisonette. We left out "other", as it often includes commercial property.
4. Select your dates. We used 1st January 2020 to the latest month available.
5. Download the full results and rank streets by average sold price, keeping the sale count beside each average.

Note: Remember to remove duplicates, as HM Land Registry transaction datasets can occasionally include duplicate listings. On a street with only two or three sales, a single duplicate can move the average by six figures. Filtering to standard (Category A) sales matters for the same reason: it strips out portfolio purchases and company transfers that were never open-market home sales.

Sold-price history is also the yardstick that matters when judging an asking price, because a discount only means something when it is measured against what actually completed. That holds whether the property is a £2 million house in Whirlow or one of the below market value properties at the other end of the market. And for readers after the investor end of the city rather than the trophy end, our buy to let property for sale page lists deals across the UK.
