The property market in IP24 2ED is defined by a 49% home ownership rate, indicating that just under half of residents own their homes, while the remainder are likely to be in the rental market. The area is predominantly composed of houses rather than flats, which is typical of smaller residential clusters. This housing stock suggests a limited number of properties, given the area’s small population of 2,431.
