About Cheddar
Cheddar is a Mendip Hills village that ticks a lot of boxes: good schools, low crime, and a thriving independent food scene. The trade-off is transport — there are no trains or buses, so you'll definitely need a car.
House prices sit in the mid-range for the area. Detached homes average £502,750, while flats offer a cheaper way in at £152,250. Living costs run slightly above the UK average, mainly because of council tax and transport expenses. Rents, though, are cheaper than you'll find in nearby Somerset neighbourhoods.
Over a third of residents work from home, which tells you something about the appeal here. If you're after rural village life with decent road links to Wells and Bristol, Cheddar works well.
