Local area
Stannington is a pleasant leafy village with a relaxed atmosphere, excellent local amenities, and easy access into Sheffield which is just 4 miles away. The Peak District is also within easy reach, making Stannington ideal for an active retirement. Stannington Park is just across the road from the proposed development, with plenty of green open space, a bowling green, and a café within the park. The new development will be situated just 600m from the town centre, where there is a SPAR and a Co-op, as well as a medical centre. There are three pubs within half a mile – The Peacock Inn, The Rose and Crown, and The Crown and Glove.
The thriving city of Sheffield is just four miles from Stannington, where homeowners will find a wealth of shops including John Lewis and Debenhams, and attractions like The Crucible Theatre, cinemas, live music venues, and much more. Sheffield has a colourful heritage and a lively student population, creating a unique mix of old and new culture. You could enjoy a pint in a centuries-old pub, grab a coffee from a well-established chain, or sample modern fusion cuisine in a hip new restaurant – all on the same stretch of street within the city.
The edge of the Peak District is only minutes away from the proposed Stannington development, where hundreds of miles of hiking routes, charming historic towns and famous scenery awaits. Visit pretty rural towns like Edale, Castleton and Hope Valley, or natural attractions such as Kinder Scout nature reserve, Jacob’s Ladder, Ladybower Reservoir, and the Blue John Cavern. If you love the great outdoors, Stannington is the perfect place to call home.
