How Life Works Here
Milk Street is located in Somerset, near Frome. Crime is a significant concern, with 471 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 276 violent offences were recorded (59% 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 rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 114m away. The median property price is £285,000, with exceptional growth of 191% over five years. Based on 5 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 6 schools within 2 km, 3 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 437m 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. Market indicators suggest an upward trend. Overall, this street scores 42 out of 100 for liveability. The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
