Things You Should Know
Area safety score 15/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Family score 20 and safety 15. School access or quality combined with safety concerns make this challenging for families.
Prices grew 48% over 5 years, but environment scores only 16/100. Growth may not be sustainable without local improvements.
How Life Works Here
Ledrah Road is located in Cornwall, near St Austell. Crime is a significant concern, with 451 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominate reports. 216 violent offences were recorded (48% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub rather than a typical residential street. 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 (Four Turnings) is 147m away. The median property price is £185,000, with strong growth of 48% over five years. Based on 19 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 3 schools within 2 km, 3 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 155m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 44 out of 100 for liveability, slightly below the district average. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
