How Life Works Here
Oxford Grove 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. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. Public transport is accessible, with bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 159m away. The median property price is £99,950, with exceptional growth of 220% over five years. Based on 45 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. 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 40 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
