How Life Works Here
Denness Road is located in Ashford, Kent. Crime is a significant concern, with 654 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Shoplifting dominates reports. This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 226m away. The median property price is £400. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 7 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. The data suggests this area could appeal to first-time buyers. Overall, this street scores 42 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
