HAROLD AVENUE, S71 5HT House Prices & Local Information

S71 5HT is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Harold Avenue, 0.4km from Lundwood in Barnsley. Administratively it sits within Monk Bretton ward and the Barnsley Central constituency.

An affordable area with active regeneration, S71 5HT is a transitional terrace area — improving but still facing economic pressures. The predominance of young residents (average age 28) gives the area its energy — expect active social scenes, short tenancies, and regular neighbourhood turnover. 74% of homes are socially rented, reflecting the area's public housing provision and council presence. Full-time employment stands at 18% — below average for the region, consistent with the area's higher deprivation indicators.

Safety: Crime is moderate at 78 incidents per 1,000 residents — broadly typical for this type of urban area. Property: With prices averaging £102k, this is one of the more affordable postcodes in the area. 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.
