"I have loved living here these past 40 years, it has been a great place to live and raise my children. The main benefits, apart from the large level rear garden, have been the close proximity of both schools and shops, within a nice neighbourhood.

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted

    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
