About Rotherham:
We are proud of Rotherham as a place to live as well as work. Rotherham has been investing in and developing its Town Centre, which is a great place to relax with a coffee or shop in boutique stores and delis. If a rural living is more your style, come and enjoy our country parks, woodlands, and nature reserves
Looking wider, Rotherham is well connected to the other fine towns and cities in South Yorkshire both by road and by a comprehensive public transport network - including the UK’s first tram-train connecting Rotherham and Sheffield, pioneering cleaner, greener ways to travel.
The whole region is a great place to be, serving as the gateway to the rest of Yorkshire, and the beautiful Derbyshire dales are on our doorstep too. There are plenty of places to see and things do, and the property is excellent value for money. All this within a 2-hour train journey from London.
