Rented accommodation predominates. There are 5 schools within 2 km, 5 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 426m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision.
