lalexander7   0 #1 Posted July 31, 2019 Hello, were about to put an offer in for a house inbetween Deepcar and Stocksbridge, I work near the new Ikea.  We're going to a 2nd viewing on Saturday we have a budget to 280k but looking for somewhere at 240/250.  Any thing you would want to highlight or point out about the area? We're looking to start a family, don't drink much alcohol so would drive back from town if we went out down there.  Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
vwkittie   10 #2 Posted August 1, 2019 Lots of nice bits in Stocksbridge/Deepcar! I lived in Stocky for 10 years and now still live quite close and come in to Stocksbridge regularly. There are decent facilities nearby - leisure centre with swimming pools, several gyms, shops/cafes/restaurants/takeaways, good access to countryside walks. Fox Valley is a good asset to the area. Good access to the M1. Public transport in to town isn't too bad - you can get the SL bus or drive to Middlewood park and ride then take the tram in to town/meadowhall.  There are a few housing developments recently built or about to be built in the area. I would say it's an area on the up overall.  Only thing I'd check on really is the schools. I think for younger kids there are some good options but I'm not sure the high school is all that great.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
