I don't know the area at all - but there is this reference to Garrowtree Farm (Place) in Rotherham

Modified to add - sorry, ignore this. I see you're after something from more recent times.  :-[

There's also a reference to Garrowtree Nursing Home, Rotherham in some birth notices from 1946, but can't find a street address yet.

There was a Garrowtree home in the catchment area of Kimberworth school in 1910. It was possibly a childrens home.
