Ilford is one of those Somerset hamlets that barely announces itself — no high street to speak of, just lanes, fields, and the sense that you've left the main road behind on purpose. There's no town centre pulling in shoppers or commuters; what you see is what you get, which for some people is exactly the appeal and for others a reason to keep driving. I'll be straight with you: there isn't enough on the record for Ilford itself to paint the practical picture — no local figures for house prices, schools, transport links, or crime specific to this hamlet. What we do have is the wider Somerset and South West context, and it's a reasonable proxy for the kind of place this is. Somerset's typical house price sits a little under the national median, and the region's average age runs older than the England-wide figure, which fits the pattern of a quiet, rural corner rather than a young commuter belt. Green space per head across the South West also runs ahead of the national average, so if it's space and quiet you're after, the region delivers even if Ilford's own numbers aren't itemised. What I can't do is tell you about a specific school, station, or park in Ilford, or how its crime rate compares to Somerset's, because that detail simply isn't logged here. If you're weighing this place up, it's worth treating it as genuinely off the map data-wise — the kind of hamlet you'd need to visit, ask around, and check the nearest parish noticeboard for, rather than one you can size up from a spreadsheet.
