This high rate of home ownership points to a stable, established community rather than a rental-heavy market. The accommodation type is primarily houses, which is typical of smaller residential clusters and suggests a focus on family homes or larger properties. Given the area’s small size, the housing stock is likely limited in volume but may offer characterful or spacious options.
