Things You Should Know
Area safety score 25/100 — crime rates in this area (LSOA, not this specific street) are well above average. Exercise caution, especially at night.
Transport score 20/100. Daily tasks likely require a car. Limited public transport options within walking distance.
Family score 10 and safety 25. School access or quality combined with safety concerns make this challenging for families.
Daily access score 26/100. Basic amenities like shops, GPs and post offices are not within easy walking distance.
Environment score 28/100 is low for a location with limited urban amenities. Nearby road noise, industrial activity, or air quality issues may affect quality of life.
Transport score 20/100 with no significant infrastructure planned. Car dependency limits property appeal and constrains future value growth.
How Life Works Here
Woodyard Mead is located in Elmbridge, Surrey. Crime is a significant concern, with 407 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. 127 violent offences were recorded (31% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transport hub 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 Garden Pod Cafe (cafe, 195m). The nearest public transport is 241m away. The median property price is £344,000, though prices have fallen 90% over five years. Based on 19 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 1 schools within 2 km. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Some market indicators point to a cooling trend. Overall, this street scores 32 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
