Local life comes first, with the region opening up beyond. A mature community gives the area a calm, settled social fabric, with families and grandchildren still a visible part of community life.
The area offers approachable housing costs alongside a lifestyle that still feels complete. There is a settled, neighbourly feel to the area that rewards people who like knowing their patch.
Tree-lined streets and established homes set the tone, with little pressure to reinvent the neighbourhood.
