The closest is Seven (cafe, 17m). The nearest transport stop is 59m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £176,500, with strong growth of 45% over five years. Based on 30 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 12 schools within 2 km, 12 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 5 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 18m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 47 out of 100 for liveability. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
