Where to live with access to Rotherham?

[The_Doc]

My brother is looking at a job in central Rotherham.

Where would be a good place to commute-in? Presumably over the M1 towards Sheff.

30mins max commute

Budget £500,000 to £750,000

Ideally a village/small town to raise his kids, nice schools etc

I'm going to Rightmove this question, but you can't get local knowledge on rightmove

I'd tell him to look at Bawtry. Stunning village. There will be plenty of houses in that price bracket and its only a 20-30 minute drive into Rotherham. Some decent bars and restaurants too...

Cawthorne, just off j37 m1

Bawtry/Tickhill

Another vote for Cawthorne / Silkstone area, its actually Barnsley rather than Rotherham but its out on its own towards the peaks.

Actually within the Rotherham Area, just off J35 Scholes is lovely with a big paddock in the middle, very little traffic and the important, left turn toward Rotherham making the drive in a little easier. Its 5 minutes from the town centre but feels a million miles.

This is great, thanks

I'll pass on the info and obviously any other's opinions too

Bawtry would be a good choice. Back road through maltby to Rotherham won't take long. Lots of nice houses for sale in that price range. Also worth looking in bessacarr ( nice bit of Doncaster ) new slip road to the m18 makes Rotherham easily accessible.

Places like this scattered around
