Why an in catchment listing can still miss
A house advertised as in catchment may not be next year. The local council publishes last year's furthest distance offered for each school. Ask for that figure in writing before you offer.
Ratings age too. An Outstanding judgement can be several years old, and inspections since September 2024 report differently. Read the current report rather than the agent's summary of it.

| Who it suits | Out of five | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Families | ★★★★☆ | A Good village primary and a genuine community, though secondary schooling means travel to the Salisbury/Wilton area. |
| Commuters (to London) | ★★★★☆ | Rare for a village, its own station gives direct London Waterloo trains via Salisbury. |
| Downsizers | ★★★★★ | A thriving, arty village with independent shops, galleries and a Good primary in beautiful Cranborne Chase countryside. |
| Second-home buyers | ★★★★☆ | A sought-after, picturesque village regularly named among the best places to live, a natural draw. |
| First-time buyers | ★★☆☆☆ | A premium market (often £375k to £600k), the entry point is a real stretch. |
