Based on 24 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 8 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The area sits within Flood Zone 2 (river and sea flooding), indicating medium flood risk. It is worth checking the Environment Agency flood map for current details.
