Directions from Ardsley to our Barnsley base
Ardsley is a short run south-east of our Cheapside base, about 2 miles, on Doncaster Road toward Stairfoot. The housing is terraces, semis and some newer infill. Doncaster Road itself is busy. Side streets are where the van usually waits, and parked cars decide whether that wait is at the door or a few houses along.
The area is easy to mix with Kendray to the west and the start of the Wombwell road. Postcodes split across S70 and S71. Oakhill Primary is the Doncaster Road school. Hunningley is the Stairfoot school. Quote with the postcode, not only the village name.
Insurance is provided. Ask what is covered when you book. Flats and maisonettes off the main road need the stair details. A house with a drive is simpler once the drive is empty.
Our local team covers this side of town daily. See house removals, Kendray and Wombwell. Barnsley removals is based on Cheapside.
