This suggests a market skewed towards owner-occupation rather than rental properties, which may appeal to buyers seeking long-term stability. The accommodation type is predominantly houses, meaning the area lacks high-density housing or flats. For those considering a purchase, this implies a focus on standalone properties, which may be more suitable for families or individuals prioritising space and privacy.
