House prices in depth

The postcode sector median sale price is £450,000, which sits above the district median of £340,000 and the national median of £284,238. That gives the area a higher price level than the wider comparators shown here. By property type, detached homes have a median of £611,000 from 32 sales, semi-detached homes £327,500 from 17 sales, terraced homes £307,000 from 6 sales, and flats £165,000 from 3 sales. The flat figure is based on very few sales, so treat it as indicative rather than typical.

Price movement

Prices in this postcode sector are lower than they were recently, down 8.9% over the past year and 27.4% over three years. The three-year figure shows a clear net fall overall, while the annual change points to further weakness in the shorter term. The current median still sits at £450,000, but the change figures show it is well below its level three years ago.

Crime and flood risk

Recorded crime stands at 37 incidents over the past year in the immediate neighbourhood, using LSOA-level data. That is an area-wide figure, not a count for one street or one home. Flood band data show no identified flood risk. It is a broad area indicator only, rather than a statement about any single property.
