CHAPEL HOUSES, SY17 5EE House Prices & Local Information

SY17 5EE is an accessible, working-class neighbourhood on Chapel Houses, 0.2km from Caersws in Caersws. Administratively it sits within Caersws ward and the Montgomeryshire constituency.

For families considering a move, SY17 5EE represents a stable, owner-occupied suburb — married couples, UK-born, strong community. By day, the area transitions to a traditional countryside character: mainly white older workforce, self-employed in agriculture, forestry and fishing, with some construction. 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. 76% of properties are owner-occupied — a strong indicator of neighbourhood stability and long-term community investment.

Safety: Crime rates are low here at 27 incidents per 1,000 residents — well below average and reassuring for families. Property: With prices averaging £113k, this is one of the more affordable postcodes in the area. 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.

Census 2021 statistics for SY17 5EE are sourced from Output Area W00002306 (shared with 23 postcodes in this micro-neighbourhood). Property prices come from HM Land Registry.
