Only 1 transaction recorded. The £449,995 median is not statistically reliable and may reflect unusual sales.
Median price £449,995 based on only 1 transactions. This may not reflect typical local housing — a few high-value sales can skew the median significantly.
Environment score 35/100 is low for a location with limited urban amenities. Nearby road noise, industrial activity, or air quality issues may affect quality of life.
Transport score 20/100 with no significant infrastructure planned. Car dependency limits property appeal and constrains future value growth.
How Life Works Here
Warbler Drive is located in Preston, near Broughton, Lancashire. Crime is a significant concern, with 332 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 140 violent offences were recorded (42% of total). Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The nearest public transport is 328m away. A car is recommended for most journeys. The median property price is £449,995. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population. There are 3 schools within 2 km, 3 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted.
