Things You Should Know

Limited tenant pool

Price anomaly

Median price £472,495 based on only 8 transactions. This may not reflect typical local housing — a few high-value sales can skew the median significantly.

Weak transport upside

Transport score 10/100 with no significant infrastructure planned. Car dependency limits property appeal and constrains future value growth.
