About £470,500 for the typical house, and most of what changes hands here is detached. Thirty sales in a year, and only a handful of them terraced. Band E is the commonest council tax band in the village. Renting locally runs to roughly £950 a month. This is a small market with a high floor, and the cheap end of it barely exists.
The Land Registry recorded 30 sales in the year to April 2026, at a median of about £470,500. Twenty-two of those were detached houses, with a median of around £497,500. Four were terraced, at about £296,250. There is no gentle gradient between those two numbers, because there is almost nothing in between them being sold. Thirty sales across a whole year also means the market moves slowly, so anyone waiting for the right house to appear should be prepared to wait for the right house to appear.
The published house price index for the area put the average at about £302,200 as of May 2026, down roughly 1% over the twelve months. Flats specifically were down about 5% across the same period. A one percent move is a shrug rather than a story, and it covers the wider index area rather than the village on the hill, but it is the direction the published figures carry and it is not upward.
Council tax follows the housing. Band E is the commonest band across the village, and only about 15% of dwellings sit in bands A or B combined. The band D bill runs to around £2,640 a year, which is the number most readers can hold against their own bill, with the caveat that a good deal of Bishopsteignton sits above band D rather than at it.
Renting is a Teignbridge question rather than a village one, because the reliable figure is the local authority average. Typical private rent across the Teignbridge area is about £950 a month as of April 2026, and that figure is a mean from the national rent index rather than a median of advertised listings. By size, a one-bed averages around £645 a month, a two-bed about £855, a three-bed roughly £1,070, and four bedrooms or more about £1,540. Studio and room rents are not published for the area, so anyone quoting you one has made it up.
Against local earnings, none of this is comfortable. Modelled household income for the area was about £54,400 gross before tax for the financial year to March 2023, which is a respectable number and a dated one. Set beside a median sale price of £470,500, it explains why the buyers arriving here tend to be selling something else rather than saving for something first. This is a village bought with equity, not with a deposit.
By floor area, the sales that can be measured come out at about £4,155 per square metre, across a typical floor area of around 116 square metres. That covers roughly 73% of sales, being the ones that could be matched to an energy certificate's recorded floor area, so treat it as the shape of the market rather than a full census of it. It does at least confirm that the money is buying space rather than a postcode premium on a shoebox.
The bedroom mix from the 2021 census says the same thing from another angle. About 34% of homes have three bedrooms and about 32% have four or more, with roughly 27% at two bedrooms and about 6% at one. Two thirds of the village is a family-sized house, in a place where the median resident is well past the family-sized stage. The spare rooms here have been spare for a while.
On price, Bishopsteignton is one of the harder cases in the district. What you get is space, and what you pay for it is a figure that shuts out anyone without an existing house to sell, which makes value the weakest part of the argument for living here.
