Chapel Square

Cornwall, England

Semi-rural Mixed character Car + some transport Risk: High Growth pocket High confidence

Reality check: Affordable entry at £171,500 with warm market liquidity. Strong 34% growth over 5 years supports the investment case. However, car dependency limits the tenant pool and long-term upside. Weak family and environment appeal narrows demand.
