A distinctive dual market: the preserved character village and a wider hillside market of modern villas, land, views and privacy.
Information reviewed · 12 August 2026Area image: Maris Teteris · CC BY 3.0Understand the micro-locations
- The preserved village is a specialist heritage and tenure market.
- Leasehold village property must be separated from wider titled property choices.
- Modern hillside villas, premium homes and land form a different market below and around the village.
For buyers
- Decide first whether you want preserved-village character or a conventional hillside property.
- For village homes, investigate tenure, remaining term, ground rent, eligibility and alteration rules.
- For villas and land, inspect title, access, gradient, drainage, retaining structures and utilities.
For owners and sellers
- Identify the legal and market category before presenting the property.
- Explain tenure and any alteration or occupancy constraints in plain language.
- For modern villas, evidence title, access, view, plot, approvals and structural condition.

Chapter One perspective
“A traditional village cottage and a titled modern hillside villa are fundamentally different decisions and should never be treated as interchangeable.”
