How Life Works Here
Gardeners Close is located in Ashfield, near Hucknall, Nottinghamshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 667 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 256 violent offences were recorded (38% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is Wood Lane Stores (convenience, 106m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus and tram stops within reach. The nearest is about 89m away. The median property price is £337,500. Based on 2 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 8 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 39 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
