Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 14 schools within 2 km, 13 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. 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.
