The property market in CH41 7FB is characterised by a low home ownership rate of 26%, suggesting a rental-dominated market. The area’s accommodation is primarily houses, many of which are older properties, including 16th- to 18th-century Grade II listed buildings. This mix of historic and traditional homes may appeal to buyers seeking character, but it also means a smaller stock of newer developments.
