This suggests a rental market that may cater to both long-term tenants and those seeking temporary accommodation. Given the area’s limited size, the housing stock is unlikely to be vast, which could make it a competitive market for buyers. The predominance of owner-occupied homes is low, so prospective buyers should consider the potential for rental opportunities in the vicinity. The focus on houses rather than flats may appeal to those prioritising space or family-friendly layouts. However, the small area’s housing stock may not offer a wide range of options, requiring buyers to look beyond immediate surroundings.
