Fant & Oakwood

ME16 0 / ME16 8 / ME16 9

Family-friendly

Fant and Oakwood run north of the town centre and are consistently popular, with tree-lined roads and a mix of period houses that make it feel more settled than the newer estates on the southern edge of town. There's a local shopping parade at the top of Fant that covers basics, and people speak well of the nearby primary schools. It's the kind of area where families tend to put down roots rather than move on, and that permanence gives it a genuine community feel that newer developments struggle to replicate.
