How Life Works Here

The Cooperage is located in Somerset, near Frome. Crime is a significant concern, with 345 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 187 violent offences were recorded (54% of total). This is a quieter, more car-dependent location. The nearest shops and services may require a short drive. The closest is The Crown Inn (pub, 72m). Transport connections are strong, with rail and bus links nearby. The nearest stop (Post Office) is 80m away. The median property price is £233,500, with moderate growth of 7% over five years. Based on 8 transactions recorded since 2014. Rented accommodation predominates. There are 5 schools within 2 km. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 370m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The profile suggests appeal to both young professionals and property investors. Overall, this street scores 46 out of 100 for liveability, above the district average. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
