Go to
http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/ look for 'get a map' and
put in your postcode. Increase the map scale to 1:25000 and work out how
many metres above sea level you are by looking at the contour lines (at this
scale they have a 5m interval) and spot heights in relation to where you
live.

(Ignore any of those websites that promise to tell you how high you are
above sea level)

All the best
