The property market in CH49 2SR is characterised by high home ownership (79%) and a focus on houses rather than flats or apartments. This suggests a market driven by owner-occupiers rather than renters, with properties likely to be family homes or long-term investments. The small size of the area means the housing stock is limited, and buyers should consider the proximity to nearby towns like Upton and Saughall Massie for additional options. The predominance of houses indicates a preference for private, spacious living, which may appeal to those seeking a traditional, settled lifestyle.
