Based on 20 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, and a notable retired population. There are 4 schools within 2 km, 3 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. This street may particularly suit young professionals. Market indicators suggest an upward trend.

Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
