How Life Works Here
Capstone Road is located in North Devon, near Ilfracombe, Devon. Crime is a significant concern, with 410 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Anti-social behaviour dominates reports. 172 violent offences were recorded (42% 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 Curiosity Cottage Tea Room (cafe, 21m). Public transport is accessible, with bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 89m away. The median property price is £207,500, with exceptional growth of 62% over five years. Based on 18 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 1 schools within 2 km. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. This street may particularly suit property investors. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. 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.
