Thicket Mead
Thicket Mead sits within a well-regarded pocket of Midsomer Norton, where good schools and low crime are the standout features. Families are well served right across the surrounding area, with an Outstanding-rated primary in Redfield, another in Westfield, and consistently Good ratings elsewhere, giving plenty of confidence whichever catchment you land in. Crime runs below the national average throughout, and in Westfield it's dropped sharply over the past two years, adding to the settled, low-key feel.
Housing offers solid value, particularly for flats in Midsomer Norton North and detached or terraced homes in Westfield and the Mendip Hills, all cheaper than you'd find in many comparable areas. Everyday amenities are a short trip rather than right on your doorstep in some parts, Midsomer Norton North relies on nearby areas for supermarkets and GP surgeries, for instance, but Westfield bucks this trend with four supermarkets, a GP surgery and a pharmacy all close by. Redfield adds a well-stocked high street and a railway station into the mix, making it the most convenient spot for those wanting amenities and transport links within walking distance.
Getting around generally means relying on a car, with the A362, A37 and A367 providing straightforward links to Bath and beyond, though Redfield's train station and walkable centre offer an alternative for commuters. Air quality is strong across the board, and the pace of life leans quiet and settled rather than fast-moving, this is a place for buyers who want space, good schools and value for money, with the option to head into Bath or nearby towns like Wells and Shepton Mallet when needed.
