How Life Works Here
Bishop Street is located in Ashfield, near Sutton in Ashfield, Nottinghamshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 696 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. 226 violent offences were recorded (32% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The nearest transport stop is 109m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £82,500, with strong growth of 50% over five years. Based on 13 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 6 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 270m away. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. This street may particularly suit property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 45 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
