How Life Works Here

Silverthorne Lane is located in City of Bristol, near Bristol. Crime is a significant concern, with 466 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 193 violent offences were recorded (41% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is The Cider Box (pub, 105m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Silverthorne Lane) is 249m away. The median property price is £4,965,000. Based on 4 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 12 schools within 2 km, 10 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 370m 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 and sea 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 42 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
