A typical house in Burton End sold for about £372,500 over the past year. Six homes changed hands. Five of them were terraces. Prices across the area barely moved. The headline number is real, but it was set by a handful of sales.
The Land Registry recorded six sales in Burton End in the year to early December 2025, at a median of about £372,500. Five of those were terraced houses, which sold at a median of about £370,000, so the median is really a terrace price. No other property type sold often enough to produce a figure of its own. With six sales, one large house changing hands would move the median more than any market trend could.
The official house price index for the area rose about 1.3% in the twelve months to May 2026, which is a small change. Flats in the same index fell about 1.8% over the same period. Neither figure is large enough to justify waiting for a bargain or panic-buying before one disappears. Anyone hoping a slump will bring a four-bed within reach has picked a part of Essex that stays fairly flat.
Band E is the most common council-tax band in Burton End, and only about 13% of homes are in bands A or B. Uttlesford charges about £2,334 a year for band D, and the most common band here costs more than that. A cheap starter home in Burton End is about as rare as the cheap council-tax bands.
Uttlesford's typical private rent was about £1,280 a month in April 2026. That is a district-wide average from the Office for National Statistics rent index, so it describes the whole authority. By size, the same index puts a one-bed at about £900, a two-bed at about £1,140, a three-bed at about £1,430 and a four-bed or larger at about £2,030. Most homes in Burton End are the larger kind, so the bigger figures are the ones that apply here.
Gross household income, before tax, was modelled at about £70,500 a year for the financial year to March 2023. That is an Office for National Statistics estimate averaged across the wider area, so it describes 2022 to 2023 earnings and not current pay. Against a typical sale of about £372,500, that income puts a terrace within reach of a two-earner household. On one salary it is a stretch, and the larger houses that make up most of Burton End cost more again.
The 2021 census counted about 5% of homes with one bedroom, 16% with two, 35% with three and 44% with four or more. Burton End is mostly big family houses, and the past year's sales were mostly not. Ask to see recent sold prices for homes the same size as the one being viewed. The local median was built almost entirely from terraces and says little about a four-bed.
Houses in Burton End cost a middling amount for this corner of Essex. The terraces are the only part of the market with enough recent sales to show a clear price, and the larger houses that make up most of the hamlet sell too rarely to have one.
