The median property price is £275,000, with strong growth of 20% over five years. Based on 42 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Rented accommodation predominates, and a notable retired population. There are 3 schools within 2 km, 3 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally.
