Brincliffe

The Brincliffe neighbourhood lies adjacent to Nether Edge, 2 miles south-west of the city centre, at the south-western edge of the Area Panel area. It is a popular residential neighbourhood comprised almost entirely of owner-occupied households.

 

The distinctive physical feature of the neighbourhood is Brincliffe Edge, an escarpment running from north-west to south-east along the northern boundary of the area, with which most of Brincliffe's roads are aligned.

 

House types vary, with substantial mid-Victorian houses around Chelsea Park and on Brincliffe Edge, Edwardian terraces near the Abbeydale Road and detached inter-war, 1950s and 1960s homes below the Edge, between Bannerdale and Carterknowle Roads.

 

A neighbourhood shopping centre exists on Carterknowle Road, while further services are available on the two major arterial routes which bound the neighbourhood to the east and west. Extensive traffic calming has been carried out on most minor roads.

 

Brincliffe residents have ready access to high quality public green spaces at Chelsea Park and Brincliffe Woods, while further open space exists at Bannerdale, immediately to the south of the neighbourhood boundary.
