Probably not what you're looking for, but it just occured to me that Ted Lasso might be the closest modern show to this sort of cosy/wholesome British sitcom.

Also if you want something really on the nose, I seem to remember enjoying Rev:

I downloaded this to show my Canadian SO, which has bedn delightful! We then caught Nicholas Lyndhurst voicing a hemulen in the Moomin kids show. I just wish I could show him young David Jason too, but we'll get there ...

Kingdom.

Stephen Fry stars as a small town solicitor in the eccentric town of Market Shipborough. It ran for three seasons from 2007 - 2009 and is thoroughly charming.
