Daily amenities are excellent, with 5 facilities within walking distance, including hairdresser (2), convenience (1), and fast_food (1). The closest is Preston Old Road Chippy (fast food, 75m). The nearest transport stop is 81m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £176,250. Based on 6 transactions recorded since 2014. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 8 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 464m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and first-time buyers. Overall, this street scores 43 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
