EARLY HISTORYEARLY HISTORYEARLY HISTORYEARLY HISTORYThe first building here was a Georgian house built amongst some older cottagesadjacent to the track which is also called Darley Grove. At that time the trackwas the main road from White Cross to Ward Green as there was an activequarry to the north so the two ends of what is now Bank End Road were notconnected.The comparative grandeur of the house was due to its links with the coalowners who lived at the original Darley House. (Originally on the site of the oldWhite Cross School) It was owned by the Foulks family, the financiers toMicheal Main and Wombwell Wood collieries. At this time coal was producing

enormous wealth for some and the house was soon extended to the East bytwo large ground floor reception rooms and corresponding bedrooms. The earlyVictorian period saw further investment. Another set of rooms was added to theEast and the frontage adjusted to give the two Victorian bay windows. Inside the

LOCATIONLOCATIONLOCATIONLOCATIONThe property is located to the South of Barnsley and the site slopes away fromthe main properties to the South affording stunning views over the WorsbroughValley.The centres of Barnsley, Doncaster and Sheffield are readily accessible by carwith excellent communications via the M1 and A1 M.Local shops and amenities are also available closer to hand.

SERVICESSERVICESSERVICESSERVICESMains gas, water and electricity are laid on to the site but individual connectionswill have to be made to each of the proposed developments. Foul and surfacewater drainage also run across the site. Gas central heating is installed withthermostatic valves on all radiators. All principal rooms also have wired internetconnection.

ACCESSACCESSACCESSACCESSAccess to the site is gained principally through wrought iron gates half way upPantry Hill. Other accesses are available on the corner of Darley Grove/GroveStreet and between Darley Grove and The Stables.

POTENTIALPOTENTIALPOTENTIALPOTENTIALApart from the three plots shown on the southern half of the site, Darley Houseand Darley Grove lend themselves to a number of possibilities, includingsplitting into luxury apartments, dividing back into two substantial stone housesor perhaps a mews type development.As mentioned above, the HMO status currently afforded to the properties is tiedto the owner of the property who lives adjacent in the plot referred as TheStables. It is currently felt that if the purchaser would wish to continue this usethen it would be necessary for a new application to be made.During the time when the Darley Arts project was being developed, plans weredrawn up for a further L-shaped building to the West of Darley House to housea number of bed sitting rooms together with various workshops and studios.Foundations were actually started at the time and it could therefore be arguedthat work for this planning permission has already commenced and that it is
