How Life Works Here
Fisherton Street is located in Wiltshire, near Salisbury. Crime is a significant concern, with 953 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 382 violent offences were recorded (40% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Daily amenities are excellent, with 5 facilities within walking distance, including hairdresser (2), convenience (1), and fast_food (1). The nearest transport stop is 17m away (bus). Rail links may require a connecting journey. The median property price is £166,250, with strong growth of 20% over five years. Based on 80 transactions recorded since 2014. The market is highly active with frequent sales. Rented accommodation predominates, with smaller households typical of singles or couples. There are 8 schools within 2 km, 8 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The area sits within Flood Zone 2 (river flooding), indicating medium flood risk. It is worth checking the Environment Agency flood map for current details. This street may particularly suit property investors. 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.
