How Life Works Here
Sherwell Close is located in Somerset, near Yeovil. Crime is a significant concern, with 450 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 178 violent offences were recorded (40% 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 119m away. The median property price is £102,500, with moderate growth of 6% over five years. Based on 3 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 10 schools within 2 km, 9 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 133m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. Overall, this street scores 45 out of 100 for liveability. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
