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

George has answered the "how many" question. As to "feet or metres", so
long as you enter the correct value corresponding to the units that you
have chosen, it surely shouldn't matter which you choose. If you follow
George's suggestion, then you'll be using metres, of course, since those
are the units that the recommended site uses..
