The median property price is £235,000, with moderate growth of 15% over five years. Based on 25 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 9 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 294m away.
