Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 56m away. The median property price is £147,500. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 9 schools within 2 km, 9 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high local crime rates are a serious concern for families with children, regardless of school proximity. This street falls within Flood Zone 3 — a high-risk area for flooding from river sources. Specialist flood insurance and any necessary mitigation should be factored into a purchase decision. This street may particularly suit young professionals. Overall, this street scores 53 out of 100 for liveability, above the district average.
