Westfield
Westfield is a practical, well-connected spot close to Bath that offers strong value for house-hunters. Detached and terraced homes come in well below prices in neighbouring areas, and day-to-day life is well covered with a GP surgery, pharmacy and four supermarkets within reach. Families are well served too, with a Good-rated primary school right on the doorstep and an Outstanding primary nearby. Crime has dropped sharply over the past two years and now sits below the national average, while mild weather, low rainfall and strong air quality round out the appeal.
The wider area around Westfield, taking in Midsomer Norton, Radstock and the Mendip Hills, shares a lot of the same strengths. Schools are consistently good across the board, from Outstanding primaries in Redfield to Good-rated options in Radstock and the rural neighbourhoods further out, so families have plenty of solid choices nearby. Crime is trending downward throughout the area, and house prices stay competitive compared with pricier spots like Mendip Hills, making this a genuinely affordable corner of the region. Everyday amenities such as shops, pharmacies and green spaces are easy to find locally, even if some of the smaller neighbourhoods rely on nearby towns for supermarkets and GPs.
Transport is the one area where you'll notice some differences. Westfield and Radstock lean on cars and the A367 for getting about, Redfield has the advantage of its own railway station and good road links into Bath, while Mendip Hills is more rural and car-dependent, with over a third of residents working from home. Whichever neighbourhood you choose, you're looking at a settled, family-friendly part of the world with good air quality, dependable schools and house prices that go further than in surrounding areas.
