Gayhurst is little more than a scatter of stone and brick around a church and a hall, the kind of place you pass through rather than arrive at unless you already know someone there. There's no high street to speak of, no parade of shops setting the tone — just fields, hedgerows and the sense that this is Buckinghamshire countryside doing what it has always done, quietly, without much interest in visitors.
There isn't enough here in the way of hard numbers to build you a picture of schools, crime, or commuting times with any confidence, and rather than guess, it's worth being straight about that. What can be said is where it sits: Gayhurst falls under Milton Keynes as its unitary authority, which gives it access to a much larger town's services and transport links without being of that town in character. Anyone weighing up a move here is really weighing up a trade — the quiet of a hamlet against the practical machinery of a nearby larger authority for the things a hamlet can't provide itself, schooling and station included.
Given the shortage of local detail — no crime figures, no price data, no named schools or stations specific to Gayhurst itself — the honest answer is that this is a place you'd need to visit and ask around about rather than judge from a screen. It suits someone who already wants rural Buckinghamshire and is prepared to lean on Milton Keynes for everything else, and who isn't looking for an area profile to make the decision for them.
