Thinking of living on Crosbie Road? 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 is further.
Checks tied to a spot (flood, radon, ground, noise, distances) are measured at B17 9BG, where most of the street's homes are. A long street can differ from end to end: open a postcode for its own moving page.
Answer a few questions in Where could I live? and this will use your own priorities. Until then, try a perspective.
