About Stretton
Stretton's a neighbourhood where your money goes further. Detached homes average £337,100, and terraces here actually cost more than in surrounding neighbourhoods — they're in demand. Crime's been dropping steadily and now sits well below the UK average, which matters if safety's on your mind.
Schools are solid. William Shrewsbury Primary and The Fountains Primary both have Good Ofsted ratings, so you've got decent options for families.
Day-to-day living is straightforward. You'll find 2 supermarkets, a post office and 5 pubs within the neighbourhood. Air quality's good, and there's a conservation area along the Trent and Mersey Canal if you fancy a walk.
You'll need a car here — there's no train station in Stretton itself. But the A38 gets you to Derby, Lichfield and Burton upon Trent quickly enough.
Living costs run slightly below the national average, and rents are a touch cheaper than nearby Etwall. It's a solid pick if you're a family or commuter after space without the London price tag.
