About Ossett
Ossett has a solid range of cafés, pubs, and everyday shops within easy reach. You'll find 20 pubs and 12 cafés locally, and the schools perform well — Ossett Academy and a junior school both hit 94% for expected standards. Crime rates have dropped and now match the national average, sitting well below neighbouring Wakefield neighbourhoods. Your money goes further here too. Council tax comes to £110 a month against a £147 UK average, and house prices are below the national norm. Flats start from £122,900 and detached homes average £326,800. If you drive, the M1 and M62 motorways are easy to reach. Train links and cycling routes are limited, though, so you'll want a car for most journeys.
