How Life Works Here
Ferry Lane is located in Bath and North East Somerset, near Bath. Crime is a significant concern, with 346 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. 147 violent offences were recorded (42% of total). Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Pulteney Gardens) is 127m away. The median property price is £384,875. Based on 4 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 4 schools within 2 km, 4 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 205m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street falls within Flood Zone 3 — a high-risk area for flooding from river sources. Specialist flood insurance and any necessary mitigation should be factored into a purchase decision. The data suggests this area could appeal to young professionals. Overall, this street scores 40 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
