What stands out in the records

  • Broadband availability

    Gigabit availability averages 48.2% across 160 residential postcode records in EN5 4, using Ofcom's January 2026 snapshot. This gives each postcode equal weight, not each home. Check the exact address for service.

  • Station and supermarket distances

    From the EN5 4 sector centre, the nearest mapped station is 2.0 km away and supermarket 1.2 km away in a straight line. These are not journey times.

  • Primary school evidence

    2 primary schools appear inside the EN5 4 sector boundary. 100% of those with a recorded Ofsted rating are Good or Outstanding; the rated subset may be smaller than the total. Location does not determine admission eligibility.

Recorded sales cover 2025; these medians are not current asking prices. Distances are straight lines between approximate sector centres, not travel routes. Missing values remain unknown.

How these comparisons were made

Sale medians come from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data for England and Wales. Suggestion reasons use the available sale medians, Ofcom January 2026 residential broadband availability, calculated as an unweighted mean of postcode percentages and undated OpenStreetMap station, supermarket and park locations. Distances to mapped places are also straight lines from approximate sector centres. A suggestion shares several measures with this sector; it is not a suitability score.
