GRANGE LANE, S71 5AE House Prices & Local Information

S71 5AE is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Grange Lane, 0.4km from Scarfield Close in Barnsley. Administratively it sits within Stairfoot ward and the Barnsley East constituency.

For renters and young professionals, S71 5AE offers a classic working-class terrace area — densely packed streets, low ethnic diversity. By day, the area transitions to a mining and quarrying facilities character: industrial activities connected with mining and quarrying. An average age of 41 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 50% of homes are privately rented — a strong rental market with good supply for incoming tenants.

Safety: Crime is moderate at 78 incidents per 1,000 residents — broadly typical for this type of urban area. Property: With prices averaging £75k, this is one of the more affordable postcodes in the area, up 15.3% year-on-year. The Index of Multiple Deprivation places this area in the most deprived 20% nationally — this often means more affordable prices and active local authority investment, but also fewer amenities and higher benefit dependency.
