Mr Tibbs Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 1 hour ago, David said: On par with Grimsby, I’ve moved since you came up and on the outskirts of now, that’s what we fancy again somewhere just out of town but within reach, as a Derby example Little Eaton, Morley (location wise) Nah, Donny's under-rated IMO but your right in looking for the outskirts. I'm about 3/4 miles out the town centre but on the north side, I'm guessing you probably want to be further south closer to the M18/M1. Branton, Tickhill and Maltby are alright. Bawtry as already been mentioned but you'll probably need more wonga for a house there. @Boycie's shout of Chesterfield isn't bad. That's where I grew up so still doing that commute once a week to see family and friends, can do it in about 30 min on a good run. (Maybe not now they've turned the M1 cameras on?!)

What’s Bentley like? Just seen a house in that area, not a new house but recently done out inside, really nice but really cheap so guessing the area is suspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only really know the area's around the main roads though, you might be able to find a gem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggg Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Chesterfield, at least you would be lucky enough to live in Derbyshire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 Chesterfield is a touch far, could be pushing 50 miles depending on which side, it’s 40 miles from centre to the new job, by then we may as well stay where we are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's done out nice then must mean there's some decent owners knocking about those parts! You can always scope the area out too. It's only 5/10 mins into the centre from there depending on the traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t matter, it’s motorway from Grimsby to Doncaster, too far, may as well not move. Looking for 20 miles (ish) commute. Worksop is probably the furthest South we would go to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worksop is probably the furthest South we would go to Gateford, Raymoth Lane (both have plenty of recent/new built houses) & Thievesdale areas (all northern bits of Worksop) are quite nice. I lived in Gateford for 12 years & though Worksop town centre is a bit grim, there's decent shops & pubs in these areas. Easy to get to the A1 at Blyth as well via a good fast B road.

McRamFan Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Tickhill, just south of Doncaster, however it may be a bit too rural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
