Little Comfort doesn't give you much to go on, and that's really the first thing worth saying: this is a hamlet in Cornwall too small to have generated its own crime figures, school data, or transport counts in the way a town would. What's left is the surrounding context, and even that speaks quietly.
Cornwall as a whole carries a median house price around £285,000, a shade above the national median of £281,000, and a crime rate of about 73.6 per 1,000 people, which is unremarkable as county-wide figures go. A hamlet of this size will sit outside those patterns more often than inside them — there's no traffic, no high street chemist, no rail station to speak of, and no named school to point to. What you're buying into, if you buy in at all, is proximity to the Cornish countryside and distance from most things that show up in a spreadsheet.
That absence of infrastructure is itself the character. Places like this attract people who've already decided they don't want a commute, a bus route, or a town centre on the doorstep — they want the lane, the field boundary, the quiet. It won't suit anyone who needs schools, shops, or healthcare close at hand, because none of that is what a hamlet offers. If the idea of the nearest proper amenities being a drive away sounds like relief rather than inconvenience, this is the kind of place that rewards you. If it sounds like a problem waiting to happen, it will.
