SILVERTHORNE LANE, B64 5AY House Prices & Local Information

B64 5AY is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Silverthorne Lane, 0.4km from Mushroom Green in Cradley Heath. Administratively it sits within Cradley Heath and Old Hill ward and the Halesowen and Rowley Regis constituency.

This is a strong family neighbourhood — an area with a high proportion of elderly residents, often in communal housing. The daytime character shifts — manufacturing, energy and utilities. The 35 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 68% of properties are owner-occupied — a strong indicator of neighbourhood stability and long-term community investment.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 49 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. Property: Average house prices are around £229k, up 14.8% year-on-year. The Index of Multiple Deprivation places this area in the most deprived 20% nationally — this often means more affordable prices and active local authority investment, but also fewer amenities and higher benefit dependency.
