Housing plot in upmarket Ranmoor on sale for £1.8m - with permission for 'superhome'
It is the latest plot-with-consent to hit the market, aimed at the rich
A single plot of land in an upmarket Sheffield neighbourhood is on sale for £1.8m - but it comes with permission to build a ‘superhome’.
The site on Carsick Hill Crescent in Ranmoor was earmarked for housing as far back as 1888, according to Simon Ward, managing director at Ward Bespoke Developments.
But it was never built on, making it very rare and highly desirable, he added.
The company obtained planning permission for a five-bed mansion and has put it on the market.
Mr Ward said: “Sheffield’s superhome market is evolving.

“Demand for bespoke luxury homes within the city is growing as increasing numbers of entrepreneurs and business owners seek high-end lifestyle-focused residences in prime residential settings.”
The approved plans show a mansion with private members’ club-inspired entertaining areas, cinema, spa and swimming pool facilities, alongside open-plan family and entertaining spaces.
It would also have a vehicle lift down to a subterranean ‘car gallery’ designed to showcase ‘high-performance or classic vehicles in a secure and visually striking environment’.

Mr Ward added: “Years of planning, design development and vision have gone into shaping what could become a truly landmark home in one of Sheffield’s most sought-after residential settings.”
The plot is for sale with Saxton Mee.
It comes after Blenheim Properties launched an ultra-exclusive £100m ‘California-style’ gated community in March with prices starting at £2.5m just for a plot.
‘Rolling Hills’ will have eight mansions on the site of the former Dyson brickworks in Totley. Prices are between £2.5m and £4.5m for the land, with homes costing up to £10m each on top of that.
