Detached Houses in Old Heath and The Hythe
Detached Houses make up 13% of housing stock in Old Heath and The Hythe. Our installer network covers this property type and can advise on the best alarm configuration for your home.
Security advice for detached houses
Detached homes have more entry points on average: front, back, and side doors plus garage access. A multi-zone alarm covering all perimeter doors and ground-floor windows is recommended.
Because detached homes are not overlooked by immediate neighbours, monitored alarms that alert a response centre are particularly effective.
Motion-activated outdoor lighting combined with a visible alarm bell box is one of the strongest deterrents for opportunist burglars.
