The accommodation type is exclusively houses, which is uncommon in many urban areas and suggests a focus on family homes or semi-rural living. This makes the property market here distinct from rental-heavy zones, where flats or apartments dominate. The small size of the postcode and the concentration of houses imply limited new development, meaning buyers may find a stable but niche market.
