The area developed with the arrival of the railways, which means plenty of Victorian and Edwardian terrace houses, many converted into first-time buyer-friendly flats.
Housing is diverse in its nature, encompassing many housing styles, from 19th-century terraced housing and 1960s council estates to large 1930s built houses to multimillion-pound mansions on The Bishop's Avenue.
Expect to pay about £325,000 to £350,000 for a one-bedroom flat in a Victorian or Edwardian property, and £450,000 to £500,000 for a two-bedroom conversion.
