In CH44 6NN, 40% of homes are owner-occupied, with houses being the primary accommodation type. This suggests a residential area characterised by single-family homes rather than apartments or flats. The relatively low home ownership rate compared to national averages may indicate a higher proportion of rental properties, though specific data on the rental market is not available. The area’s compact size means the housing stock is limited, and buyers should consider the small number of available properties. The presence of houses implies a focus on traditional, possibly older properties, which may appeal to those seeking characterful homes. However, the lack of detailed information on property sizes, prices, or recent developments means prospective buyers must conduct further local research. The area’s proximity to transport links and amenities may enhance its appeal, but its small footprint means competition for properties could be keen.
