How Life Works Here

Quayfield 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. 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 115m away. The median property price is £260,000, though prices have fallen 34% over five years. Based on 11 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. Some market indicators point to a cooling 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.
