POOL ROAD, SY16 1DR House Prices & Local Information

SY16 1DR is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Pool Road, 1.0km from Brimmon, Lower in Newtown (Powys). Administratively it sits within Newtown East ward and the Montgomeryshire constituency.

For families considering a move, SY16 1DR represents a mature area with an older, predominantly retired population. By day, the area transitions to a mining and quarrying facilities character: industrial activities connected with mining and quarrying. An average age of 44 puts this squarely in mixed-family territory — professional couples, school-age children households, and established residents all sharing the streets. 58% of properties are owner-occupied — a strong indicator of neighbourhood stability and long-term community investment.

Safety: Crime is moderate at 75 incidents per 1,000 residents — broadly typical for this type of urban area. Property: With prices averaging £91k, this is one of the more affordable postcodes in the area, up 17.3% 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.
