The nearest is about 80m away. The median property price is £134,000, with strong growth of 18% over five years. Based on 18 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 8 schools within 2 km, 8 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted.
