Rother Living Case Study 2023: Steven Tingle
In October 2023, Steven Tingle moved into his stylish new home in Millfold Rise at Westgate. The town centre location, along with the short distance to the train station, M1, and Parkway, made it the ideal spot for his new home.
Affordable Housing in an Up-and-Coming Area
Having previously lived in Sheffield, Steven was pleasantly surprised to find that he could purchase a property in an up-and-coming town centre at such an affordable price. Working in the travel industry, Steven appreciated the convenience and potential of his new location.
Steven's Experience
Steven shared his experience:
“I was living in Sheffield and looked at various locations there and in Rotherham, including around Kelham Island, which was so expensive and mostly offered apartments. I visited Millfold Rise, which was within my price range, and learned about all the plans for the town centre. My parents live in Swinton, so it’s nice to be close to them. When the Forge Island development is finished and opened later this year, it will be a fantastic reason for so many people to visit the town centre. I can’t wait to see it finished.”
