This property is located in Bradfield Dale, a locality within the civil parish of Bradfield in the City of Sheffield, South Yorkshire.

Bradfield, South Yorkshire, is a civil parish within the City of Sheffield. The parish covers a wide area, with its western half situated in moorland terrain. The locality’s history is marked by the Great Sheffield Flood of 11 March 1864, when the Dale Dyke Dam failed during initial filling, resulting in at least 240 deaths and the destruction of over 600 houses. The dam’s collapse highlighted engineering shortcomings, prompting reforms that set new standards for large‑scale construction. The dam was subsequently rebuilt in 1875, reflecting the community’s resilience and commitment to safety. The parish’s landscape, combined with its historical narrative, offers a distinctive backdrop for residents and visitors alike.
