Things You Should Know

High Crime Area

Safety score 15/100 — crime rates are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.

Car-dependent

Transport score 20/100. Daily tasks likely require a car. Limited public transport options within walking distance.

Price data unreliable

Only 1 transaction recorded. The £76,000 median is not statistically reliable and may reflect unusual sales.

Weak transport upside

Transport score 20/100 with no significant infrastructure planned. Car dependency limits property appeal and constrains future value growth.

Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 136 violent offences were recorded (41% of total). Daily amenities are excellent, with 6 facilities within walking distance, including cafe (2), hairdresser (2), and pharmacy (1). The closest is TOSCANA (cafe, 33m).

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 222m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both first-time buyers and young professionals. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 43 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
