How Life Works Here
Chaucer Crescent is located in Ashfield, near Sutton in Ashfield, Nottinghamshire. Crime is a significant concern, with 741 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 319 violent offences were recorded (43% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is Salon 292 (hairdresser, 127m). The nearest transport stop is 114m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £114,995, with exceptional growth of 112% over five years. Based on 9 transactions recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 5 schools within 2 km, 4 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 216m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Overall, this street scores 38 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
