Michael’s take

Living in Idle, honestly

Idle is two places at once: the old village around the green, all stone and pubs, and the newer streets running down towards Thackley and Greengates. Buyers come for the schools and stay for the commute, which is why family homes near the centre move quickly.

It rewards knowing the streets. The difference between a road that catches the A658 traffic and one two turnings away is real money, and it is the sort of thing I will tell you straight at the valuation.

Want the street-by-street version? Call me, no pressure, no jargon.
