Flockton is on the A637, which links Huddersfield with the M1.

All these key towns and cities are served by the local cross-country main roads, the A642 and the A629, as well as the motorway.

From your new home, there's a choice of local train stations, offering services into Huddersfield and Sheffield - the nearest are at Shepley and Denby Dale. Wakefield’s mainline train station operates North-eastern services, including to London King's Cross, Leeds, Doncaster and Newcastle. Leeds Bradford Airport is 26 miles away.

Your new house in Flockton is close to local shops for every-day necessities, including a newsagent/convenience store, two pubs – including The George & Dragon, aka Jack’s Craft Ale & Diner, reputedly the oldest pub in the UK - and a cricket club. There’s a Co-op in Shepley and Kirkburton, and the main national supermarkets are an easy drive away on the edge of Huddersfield. A lovely alternative for local produce is the local farm shop at Thorncliffe.

The local primary school, Flockton C of E First School, is within walking distance of your new home. There are two middle schools nearby, Kirkburton Middle School and Scissett Middle School.
