With 1,410 residents packed at a density of 52,559 people per square kilometre, this area feels compact yet purposeful.

Today, it balances modern living with historical echoes, such as the remnants of tram sheds from 1906. Residents here benefit from proximity to Swadlincote’s urban amenities while retaining a village-like character. The area’s small size means it’s ideal for those seeking a tight-knit community without sacrificing access to nearby services.

DE11 0XE is overwhelmingly an owner-occupied area, with 90% of homes owned by residents rather than rented. This suggests a market characterised by long-term residency and limited turnover, which can stabilise property values but may also reduce availability for buyers seeking short-term investment opportunities. The accommodation type is exclusively houses, indicating a lack of flats or apartments. This housing stock is typical of small, rural or semi-rural areas, where larger properties dominate. The compact size of the area—just 2.7 hectares—means the housing stock is limited, and buyers may need to consider nearby postcodes for more options. The high home ownership rate implies that properties here are likely to be well-maintained, with owners prioritising long-term value. However, the small size of the area means the local market is not large enough to support a diverse range of property types or price points.
