Our exciting new phase at Willow Heights is underway in this growing new Dearne Valley community, located in the South Yorkshire village of Thurnscoe. Featuring a luxurious selection of 2, 3 & 4 bedroom homes with something to suit every taste as well as every budget, this is the perfect opportunity for first time buyers, growing families and downsizers alike to own their dream home.
As well as boasting an exciting range of new homes, this new phase also has the benefit of being in the ideal location for commuting. Willow Heights places you between Barnsley, Doncaster, Leeds, Wakefield and Sheffield.
With all this, plus a great selection of shops, supermarkets, schools and recreational facilities all on the doorstep, Willow Heights is sure to tick every box.
What makes Willow Heights such an attractive option isn’t just the superb choice of high-quality homes on offer, but also it’s handy location in the village of Thurnscoe. Just a short stroll down the road takes you to a selection of handy local shops, a post office and choice of supermarkets. While a choice of places to eat, drink and meet friends is also yours to discover. Alternatively, hop in the car and take a short drive to either Corton Wood Retail Park or Parkgate Retail World which both offer a great choice of high street favourites.
Families will be pleased to know that children of all ages can look forward to a great education. The village has a choice of local primary schools, while the secondary school of Dearne Academy, is just down the road in the nearby village of Goldthorpe.
Life at Willow Heights is also perfect for those who enjoy their exercise. In the village is a bowling green and multi sports court as well as parks and miles of country walks. Golfers can enjoy a round at nearby Hickleton Golf Course, while those who prefer their sport a bit more active can head to Dearnside Leisure Centre.
Thanks to its great central location in the centre of Yorkshire no two days out need ever be the same. In fact, you only have to go to Xcape in Glasshoughton, just off the M62, for everything from Snowzone and Gravity Rocks to Adventure Golf and Cineworld. You can also head into Leeds or Sheffield with ease to take in the sights and sounds of either buzzing city. Or, if you prefer a more relaxing experience, simply visit Phoenix Park down the road with its climbing wall, carved farmyard animals, maze, and art gallery.
The ideal commuting hub
Willow Heights lets you enjoy the best of village life while still being within an easy commute to a host of cities and towns. Both Barnsley and Doncaster are less than 10 miles away, while Sheffield is then less than 20 miles. Last and by no means least, Leeds is around 30 miles away with easy access along the A1 or M1 motorways.
If you prefer to use the train, then you’ll be pleased to know that the village train station is walking distance from your door. With regular services to the bright lights of Sheffield and Leeds, you can travel near and far with ease. Getting about by bus is also a breeze with choice of local services stopping in the area.
It’s also just as easy to jump on a plane as Leeds Bradford Airport can be reached in an hour whilst East Midlands and Manchester Airport are within a 90 minute drive away. With international flights the world’s your oyster.

Buying a home is a big decision and one that requires a large investment. If you’re struggling to get onto the property ladder due to all the associated costs, a scheme such as shared homeownership could help make owning your dream home a reality.
The shared ownership scheme lowers the cost of buying a new property, making it easier for first-time buyers to get onto the property ladder.
Shared home ownership works through a housing association; you buy into a share of your home, usually between 25% and 75%, and then pay rent on the remaining amount.
With the shared ownership scheme, you are part buying and part renting a leasehold home. This means your lease gives you the right to occupy the home for a much longer period than with traditional renting. Usually, the lease on a leasehold ownership property is 99 or 125 years, but this doesn’t mean you’re tied to the home for this extended period – the home can still be bought or sold during this time. This gives you the freedom to sell and move if needed, but the additional assurance of owning part of your home and maintaining the rights to live there over a prolonged period.
With shared ownership, you still need a mortgage to purchase a share, however, as you’re not paying towards the full cost of the house, the amount of money you need for your deposit will be a lot lower.
Deposit Unlock is a brand new scheme to help all types of buyers purchase a brand new home, with just a 5% deposit. Giving you the freedom to buy, without needing a big deposit or lots of equity in your home, whether you’re buying your first home, or your next one, this could help to make the move much more affordable.
Developed by the Home Builders Federation, the home building industry and mortgage lenders, it provides homebuyers with 95% loan-to-value mortgages at competitive rates.
Available to first-time buyers and existing homeowners, it makes buying a new home more affordable, without needing to save for a huge deposit.
Deposit Unlock is currently available via selected lenders but more are joining all the time. The scheme is expected to be more widely available across the UK soon.
