I have friends on Elsinore Rd, which is further still from the station. Yes it's a bit of a walk but then you get a more for your money - it's the trade off. I've walked round there and it seems a very pleasant residential area and it seems to me that it's only going to become more desirable. A lot of the houses on Kemble, Colfe and Elsinore Road are being done up. Good luck!
