You've got 3 supermarkets, 8 cafés, 9 restaurants and 10 pubs within easy reach, plus a railway station that connects you to York and Middlesbrough. House prices won't break the bank here — terraced homes average £216,000 and flats £115,000. Crime sits well below both UK and regional averages, and burglary rates dropped further in 2025.
Most schools are rated Good, including the local secondary. Living costs run slightly above the UK average, but you're paying for a town centre that's genuinely well-served and air quality that tops the DAQI scale.
