Westcott doesn't give up much at a glance — no high street of note, no single postcode you'd point to and say "that's it" — which is often the case with a small Cornish locality that hasn't been carved up into official statistics of its own. What you're left with is the wider county picture, and that's genuinely useful if you're weighing this against other corners of Cornwall.
Cornwall as a whole sits close to the national median on house prices — its typical figure of £285,000 is barely above the England-wide £281,000, and actually a touch below the South West regional median of £305,000. That's worth pausing on: the South West often has a reputation for pricing out anyone who isn't already local or already wealthy, yet on this measure Cornwall isn't the most expensive seat at the table. Crime across the unitary authority runs at 73.6 per 1,000, a figure that only means much once you can set it against a specific neighbourhood's own rate, which isn't available here for Westcott itself.
What none of this tells you is the texture of daily life in Westcott specifically — which school gate you'd stand at, which green space you'd walk the dog round, whether the trains run often enough to make a Truro or Exeter commute bearable. Those are the details that usually make or break a decision like this, and for this particular locality they simply aren't in the record I can draw on. I'd rather say that plainly than sketch you a version of Westcott I can't stand behind.
So the honest answer is a partial one: Cornwall's county-level numbers suggest a place that isn't pricing itself into the stratosphere relative to the rest of England, and isn't obviously worse for crime than you'd expect either. Whether Westcott itself suits you — the school, the station, the park, the pub — is a question worth asking someone who can see the street, not just the spreadsheet.
