There isn't enough on Chapel Down itself to paint the place properly — no figures on its housing, schools, transport, crime, or green space have come through, so anything I said about the character of its streets or who lives there would be guesswork rather than knowledge, and that's not a trade I'll make with you.
What I can say is where it sits in the wider county. Cornwall as a whole runs a median house price around £285,000, which tracks close to the national figure of £281,000 — not a cheap corner of England, but not a notably expensive one either against the country as a whole. Cornwall's crime rate benchmark sits at 73.6 per 1,000, which again is the kind of figure you'd want set against Chapel Down's own numbers before drawing any conclusion — and those aren't available here.
If you're weighing up a move, I'd want the local detail on this one before saying anything more — the price of a house on its streets, the school your children might attend, the station you'd walk to. Without it, I'd rather stay quiet than fill the gap with something that sounds right but isn't.
