How Life Works Here
Silver Street is located in Cotswold, near Cirencester, Gloucestershire. Crime is a significant concern, with 714 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. 224 violent offences were recorded (31% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Daily amenities are excellent, with 6 facilities within walking distance, including cafe (2), bank (1), and clothes (1). The closest is Hector & Queen (clothes, 9m). The nearest transport stop is 144m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £486,000, with strong growth of 19% over five years. Based on 63 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Rented accommodation predominates, and a notable retired population. There are 3 schools within 2 km, 3 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Primary schools are nearby, though secondary options may require travel. The nearest school is just 373m 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 53 out of 100 for liveability, placing it in the top 13% within its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
