A lovely little cul de sac, kids, animals & a community feel

[Brightbreezydays]

A small, kind primary school, beach & countryside nearby.

Does this place exist? Ideally in Cornwall-close-ish to Perranporth/Newquay

Am I dreaming?

If you find it, I'm moving there too

@Beula82 Do these types of place really not exist anymore? 😩

I live like that but no beach, I'm afraid.

Sure, if your budget is right.

I live in this place but in Scotland.

Saltburn-by-the-Sea. Beautiful ( opposite end of the country to Cornwall though)

I live in a place exactly like this but it’s in the North West unfortunately.

Most things are possible if your budget stretches

I grew up in a cul de sac like this (apart from the beach) and, even when young, I loathed it. Tittle-tattling people who wanted to know your business and all so small minded. Haven't been back for over 40 years...
Be careful what you wish for, OP!

Yes, I live here, countryside village, but beaches are a 20 min drive in any direction, and further south in Cornwall.

Balamory?

Same. We have all the above except the beach. We love it.

Sounds awful. Places like this are usually filled with nosy buggers and gossips

I live in a nice cul de sac, lots of mature neighbours.

I often dream of getting in and out of my house without being questioned or stuck being talked at!

Cars parked on the pavements as so few use their driveways as they are narrow.

Definite lack of privacy!

Define nearby?
20-30 mins drive to the beach and moorland, and yes, you can have all that.
It's my street, but 7 hours drive to Cornwall.

What kind of animals? Nothing drags a neighbourhood down like too many dogs.

But how do you know in advance if this is the case?

There are places like that but unless you've got a big budget, you'd have to look further north or Wales/Scotland.

I live in one in Cornwall on the south coast. About 20mins drive to the nearest beach (due to B road speeds!). Nothing for sale here though, new neighbour moved in just last week! £220k+ for a 3 bed mid terrace with no parking outside as it's a closed road. All parking is at the end of the road then we hoof it down.

Neighbours kids playing on the cul-de-sac sounds like my idea of hell

Apart from the beech, I live there.

I live here. Not Newquay though, different bit of cornwall.

Have you looked at St columb?

I live there. Beach is an hour away but cul De sac with 5 houses. When DC were little there were children at each house, lots of playmates. Tiny village school, countryside 200m away.
It was a great place to bring up children. Very cheap part of UK.

This sounds like a lot of West Wales

My friend lived in Fowey it's like this
