CH44 2YB is primarily a housing area with a strong emphasis on owner-occupied properties, where 54% of homes are owned by residents. The accommodation type is predominantly houses, which is typical for a small, residential postcode. This suggests a community of established homeowners rather than a rental market, though the exact proportion of rental properties is not specified. The presence of houses indicates a preference for private, detached living, which may appeal to families or those seeking space. Given the area’s compact size, the housing stock is likely limited, making it a niche market for buyers. Proximity to retail and transport links adds practical value, but the high crime risk may influence property desirability. Buyers should consider both the character of the homes and the broader safety context when evaluating the area.
