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?

Yes, I live there- although not Cornwall. 15min walk to the beach or open fields and walking paths the other direction. Technically not a cul-de-sac, but a close/dead end, quiet lane. Lovely neighbours too.

Ditto

Don’t move to Cornwall! I live here and the grass isn’t greener.

I can think of many things that bring a neighbourhood down. Dogs are not on my list.

You might need to look for somewhere big enough to have a flourishing school, rather than a tiny one constantly under the threat of closure.

Guernsey is like this. Especially around Cobo and Pembroke beach. Nice primary schools, beach etc

North east Scotland - Aberdeenshire or Moray coastline

Yes we have exactly this but 2 hours further up the coast road from where you’re looking

No it doesn't. Sssshhhhhh.

St Mawgan is exactly as you describe but very pricey!

Yeah but in West Sussex...

I can understand the primary school, beach and countryside @Brightbreezydays but why the Cul de sac?

Watching 😂

We have this except for the beach. On the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, it's lovely. The very best primary school and very, very best headteacher you could ever ask for, she's like everyone's mum! Love it

@LimesOfBronze How come?

@CombatLingerie Having visions of my Dd playing out safely with all the neighbourhood kids

@Brightbreezydays Cornwall really isn’t like the rest of the UK; you have to be sure that what Cornwall does have is worth the cost of all the things it doesn’t. It also rains all the damn time. Instagram Cornwall for one week in July is not representative of life here generally.

Ah I see @Brightbreezydays I think nowadays there are too many cars manoeuvring on and off driveways or trying to park in limited spaces to make that a reality. Cul de sac’s are notoriously bad for parking. Although perhaps the children could play in each other’s gardens if there are enough neighbouring children of a similar age?

🤣🤣

@LimesOfBronze What things doesn’t it have? Why is it not like the rest of the U.K., is it not a good place to live?
