Hello.

 

You could try http://www.Blundells.co.uk http://www.winkworth.co.uk http://www.haybrook.com or http://www.rightmove.co.uk

 

These usually have loats of properties to rent in S35. My sister rents through Blundells and has had no trouble, a lot of people seem to have had bad experiences with them though.

 

Barnsley isn't too far from sheffield but rents are much lower, have you considered there?

 

Good luck with your search.

I havent looked into Barnsley.

Im trying to keep the best of both worlds, the nature & city life.

I will look into these links, and yes I have seen many complaints about Blundells - however maybe with rent its not that bad.

 

the whole purchasing a house thing is indeed interesting and for other threads for sure. I have never heard of in my life bidding up for property.

But, Im not a local, so you find out new ways and learn to work with them.

 

thanks

I live in Aughton and that is OK. Close to Ulley reservoir and Rother Valley Park is within walking distance.

Aston and Swallownest have some nice areas and nice houses too!.

Worth a look!

Hi Dalen, just a thought, but have you tried Google Earth? It's fantastic and you can put Sheffield in and just fly around (so to speak) looking at all the different area's this will give you an idea of what the area is like i.e rows of terraces, Semi's, detached, flats etc. Whether there are nice open spaces, greenery etc. Sheffield Wednesday is in S6 and Sheffield United is in S2 so you could make a start at looking around these area's and then pan around. Again look at Rother Valley and then pan around from there but you will be close to Rotherham and area's of Nottinghamshire from there. Meadowhell (Meadowhall) is another good starting point and from there you will be able to see Darnall, Wincobank, Tinsley. OOooo the list is endless! Goodluck.

Look at Loxley (S6), nice area, low crime rate has the river and several millponds plus damflask reservoir. Its also close to Hillsborough and probably a 20 minute bus ride to the city centre. It has good schools - Loxley Primary and Bradfield. It also has the Loxley & Wadsley common and a golf course (Hillsborough). Prices on a whole slightly cheaper than Stannington although catching up rapidly.

dalen, don't write off S2 as its a big postcode with some really nice and safe areas, e.g. Heeley is very kid-friendly, has the city farm, and you can walk to town in about 10-20 mins. If you see anything that looks OK, why not post the road name and people can tell you what it's like?
