Thinking of living at WR2 5XP? 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.
Most daily things are within reach on foot; the station and supermarket are further.
Answer a few questions in Where could I live? and this will use your own priorities. Until then, try a perspective.
