The property market in LL48 6LF is dominated by owner-occupied homes, with 71% of residents in private ownership. This contrasts with areas where rental markets dominate, suggesting a community of long-term residents rather than transient populations. The accommodation type is primarily houses, which is typical for rural and semi-rural areas in Wales. Given the small area size of 1.8 hectares, the housing stock is likely limited, with properties concentrated in a compact cluster.
