SH, stoke-on-trent

Wednesday, April 24, 2019

ST54BZ is a lovely area. It's very quite, there's very little crime, the views over the city are lovely and there's a nature reserve just around the corner. The country is two or three minutes in the car in one direction and the town in the same distance in the other. It's a very easy place to commute from too as the motorway is close by but not two close to be a problem. Trentham Estate is a couple of minutes away and Alton Towers is no more than half an hour away. It's very nice living here.
