The property market in CH45 4QT is characterised by a 54% home ownership rate, with houses being the primary accommodation type. This suggests a market skewed towards owner-occupied homes rather than rentals, which may appeal to buyers seeking stability and long-term investment. The compact nature of the area, covering just 307 m², means properties are likely to be closely spaced, with limited scope for new developments. The focus on houses implies a preference for larger, family-friendly homes, which may be in demand given the area’s role as a commercial and retail hub.

Buyers should consider that the small area size and existing housing stock may limit options, but the proximity to shops, transport, and schools could offset this.
