Aimed at Londoners considering a move, it states: “Forget E17, it’s all about S17 – an affluent Sheffield suburb that offers big houses, excellent schools and easy access to town and country (but it ain’t cheap).”

It adds that Dore is on the edge of the Peak, with its idyllic scenery, and has a village feel, plenty of amenities, outstanding schools and a reputation for very large houses. The majority of sales are detached homes costing around £742,919, it states.
