Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 130 violent offences were recorded (42% of total). This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is The Flying Squirrel (pub, 89m). The nearest transport stop is 64m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £138,750, with exceptional growth of 76% over five years. Based on 4 transactions recorded since 2014. Larger household sizes suggest a family-oriented community. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 9 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 property investors. Overall, this street scores 39 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
