Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Station Road) is 213m away. The median property price is £236,500, with a slight decline of 10% over five years.

There are 10 schools within 2 km, 10 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 168m away.
