Earlsheaton WF12 - Area Queries

Good afternoon everyone,

We have spotted a lovely house in Earlsheaton, Dewsbury that we have put in an offer for and that has been accepted. It is a lovely 4 bed semi in a new(ish) build cul-de-sac.

I am unable to find any real true or helpful advice regarding the area. I have checked crime rates and they aren't much different to Morley, Leeds where we currently are, there are maybe 4 more crimes within 1 mile of the new property.

Can anybody advise me on the area and if it really is as much of a "bad" area as it says all online? I know Dewsbury has a reputation and I would only be going to the town centre for fabric purchases!

The property is of equal distance to Ossett Town Centre and Dewsbury Town Centre and the cul-de-sac seems very quiet and the people living there seem to be similar to us.

Any advice would be great!

Thank you.
Hazel
