Hulham
Hulham sits within the Exmouth area, a coastal part of East Devon that blends seaside living with practical family appeal. Crime rates across the surrounding neighbourhoods run well below the national average and continue to fall, whilst clean coastal air and mild weather are recurring strengths throughout. Schools are generally a highlight too, with Good-rated primaries such as Brixington Primary Academy, The Beacon, Exeter Road and Withycombe Raleigh CofE Primary serving local families, though a few schools in Withycombe Raleigh need improvement, so checking catchments pays off.
Housing costs and transport links vary noticeably depending on which part of the wider area you're looking at. Exmouth Town and Withycombe Raleigh offer more affordable flats and terraces, with Withycombe Raleigh terraces starting from around £240,000, whilst Exmouth Halsdon and Brixington command a premium for detached and semi-detached houses. Woodbury and Lympstone sit at the top end of the market, with detached homes averaging £819,000, reflecting demand for village living and space over flats. Rail connections to Exeter are a real asset in Exmouth Town, Halsdon and Woodbury & Lympstone, the latter benefiting from three stations on the Avocet Line, whereas Brixington and Withycombe Raleigh lean more on road access via the A376 and are better suited to drivers.
Day-to-day amenities are solid across the board, with supermarkets, pubs, parks and GP or dental provision covering most needs, though some areas, like Halsdon, keep shops and restaurants just outside their immediate boundary rather than within it. Overall, this is a settled, low-crime coastal area that suits families and buyers after a slower pace, with the flexibility to choose between affordable flats, mid-range semis, or larger detached homes depending on budget and how much weight you put on a direct rail link into Exeter.
