Thinking of living at SA4 4GY? Who your neighbours would be, how far the schools, station, shops, GP and parks are from the postcode itself, which schools are near and how they do, what there is to do at the weekend, and a day in the life here.
You'll mostly drive: the nearest station, supermarket, GP are all over 1 km away.
Answer a few questions in Where could I live? and this will use your own priorities. Until then, try a perspective.
