DOWNHAM ROAD, PE38 0BQ House Prices & Local Information

PE38 0BQ is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Downham Road, 0.2km from Nordelph in King's Lynn and West Norfolk. Administratively it sits within Upwell & Delph ward and the South West Norfolk constituency.

This is a strong family neighbourhood — a quiet rural community with low density and high home ownership. The daytime character shifts — mainly white older workforce, self-employed in agriculture, forestry and fishing, with some construction. The 45 average age reflects a mixed, mid-career community — settling down but not yet slowing down. 72% of properties are owner-occupied — a strong indicator of neighbourhood stability and long-term community investment.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 19 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. Property: Average house prices are around £395k, down 27.0% year-on-year. The Index of Multiple Deprivation places this area in the most deprived 20% nationally — this often means more affordable prices and active local authority investment, but also fewer amenities and higher benefit dependency.
