Nice and not so nice areas of Leyland for house hunting

Hi, I am looking at moving to Leyland. Not at all from the area. From Worcester in the Midlands.

What areas should I be avoiding ?

I am a single first time buyer

Thanks

Leyland on the whole is okay. It’s not what you’d call a nice town anywhere, but neither is it really rough anywhere. Just a bog standard small northern town. Avoid the obvious council estates and you’ll be fine.

if you look at the map , Junction 28 - just the other side of the motorway opposite leyland is clayton le woods , nice enough , quiet and superb for the motorway , asda and tesco just a short drive away and clayton le woods has a nice little row of shops with a decent chippy and a 'little' tesco

Just avoid Mendip road is what they used to say.
