Bushey doesn't give up much about itself easily, and that's really the honest starting point here: there's no local dataset behind this particular patch of South West England, just the wider regional and national numbers to lean on. That's worth saying plainly rather than papering over.
What I can tell you is where the region it sits within generally lands. Median house prices across the South West run a bit above the national figure — around £305,000 against £281,000 nationally — and detached homes in particular carry a real premium, £445,000 regionally versus £420,000 nationally. Rents, too, sit modestly above the national median. None of that is unusual for the South West as a whole: it's a region that skews slightly older than the country at large (a median age of 44 against 40.4 nationally), with green space per head noticeably more generous than the national average, which tends to go hand in hand with a slower, more spread-out feel than you'd get in a city postcode.
Beyond that, I'd be guessing, and I'd rather not. Without crime figures, school data, transport links, or property specifics for Bushey itself, I can't tell you what the high street looks like, whether the trains get you anywhere useful, or which school gate the parents gather at. If you're weighing up a move, the regional picture above gives you a rough sense of cost and character, but the real answer to "could I live here" needs the local detail this dataset simply doesn't hold yet.
