Things You Should Know
Transport score 10/100. Daily tasks likely require a car. Limited public transport options within walking distance.
Low walkability (25) and transport (10) narrow the pool of potential renters. Consider whether the yield justifies the risk.
Daily access score 16/100. Basic amenities like shops, GPs and post offices are not within easy walking distance.
Only 1 transaction recorded. The £62,824 median is not statistically reliable and may reflect unusual sales.
Transport score 10/100 with no significant infrastructure planned. Car dependency limits property appeal and constrains future value growth.
