The Homesteads

Development Overview

The Homesteads is a new build development by Gleeson Homes, situated on West Moor Croft in the popular village of Goldthorpe, Barnsley, South Yorkshire (S63 9FL). The development offers an affordable collection of 2, 3, and 4-bedroom homes, including semi-detached and detached house types, as well as 2-bedroom bungalows. As of late 2024, the available new build homes begin at competitive price points: 2-bedroom properties start from £229,995 (including bungalow styles like the 'Moy'), 3-bedroom houses from £249,995, and 4-bedroom houses from £294,995. All properties are offered on a Freehold tenure. Gleeson Homes, the developer, holds an independently assessed 5-star customer recommendation status and received the 2024 'Gold Award' for customer satisfaction from In-house Research, reflecting a commitment to build quality and service.

Property Details and Features

The collection is designed to suit various buyer profiles, from first-time buyers to families and downsizers. The house types available include the 2-bedroom semi-detached 'Kerry' and 'Greystones', 3-bedroom detached styles such as the 'Limerick', and the 4-bedroom detached 'Longford' and 'Dublin'. The 'Longford' house style, for example, is a four-bedroom detached property featuring a large living room, a contemporary kitchen-dining area with French doors to the garden, a useful utility room, and an en-suite to the main bedroom.
