A typical house in Chipping Campden costs about £540,000. Detached homes go for roughly two-thirds of a million. Semis cost about half a million. The terraces are the cheap option and still cost the best part of £400,000. The wool money left a long time ago, and the prices carry on as if it never went.
The Land Registry recorded 73 sales across the Chipping Campden area in the year to May 2026, at a median of £540,000. The 36 detached sales had a median of about £668,000, the 20 semis about £506,000 and the 15 terraces about £370,000. With fewer than a hundred sales in a year, a few large detached houses changing hands can move the headline figure more than any change in the market does.
The official house price index for the area rose 3.9% in the twelve months to May 2026. Flats rose 0.7%, which is close to standing still. Neither figure says anything about next year. Anyone waiting for Cotswold stone to go cheap needs patience and probably another hobby.
Council tax band C is the most common band across the area. Only about 10% of homes fall in bands A or B, the two cheapest. A band D home pays about £2,390 a year, and that is the bill to compare with what you pay now. Bands were set on values from long ago, so for many of these houses the band ends up being the most modest number attached to them.
Across Cotswold district, the typical private rent was about £1,260 a month as of April 2026. That is a mean from the Office for National Statistics rent index for the whole council area, and it is not a median of local listings. By size, the district average runs from about £880 for one bedroom and about £1,110 for two to about £1,350 for three and about £2,060 for four or more. No figures exist for studios or rooms. Renting a four-bed house here costs about the same each month as a modest car loan and a large dose of patience, and none of it goes towards owning the stone.
Gross household income in the Chipping Campden area averaged about £60,000 in the financial year to March 2023. That is a modelled estimate, before tax, and over three years old. Set against a £540,000 median, buying here is a stretch for a household living on its wages, and most buyers will need equity from a previous sale or a very understanding lender. Check whether the house you want is listed before you set your budget. The asking price usually reflects the grade, and the cost of repairs to the standard the conservation officer expects comes on top of it.
Of the sales that could be matched to an energy certificate's floor area (41 of them, about 56% of all sales), the median price was about £4,400 per square metre, and the typical home in that group had about 107 square metres. Sales without a certificate are left out, and many of the oldest houses may be among them.
The 2021 census puts about 6% of the area's homes at one bedroom and about 23% at two. About 37% have three and 34% have four or more. Small homes are scarce, so for most first-time buyers the first step on the ladder happens in another town.
Houses in Chipping Campden are expensive for what local incomes can carry. The town is well worth the money for buyers who already have the capital, and hard to reach for those who don't.
