House prices tend to outperform the surrounding neighbourhoods, especially for detached and semi-detached homes. If you're a family, you'll find four well-rated local schools to choose from.
Day-to-day shopping is limited — there's just a couple of shops, pubs and a café locally. For supermarkets, healthcare and bigger errands, you'll head to nearby towns. That's the trade-off for living here.
What you get in return is a genuinely settled, community feel. The climate's mild and sunny, and the crime rates stand out well against national and regional averages.
