Houses in Cullompton cost about £244,500, which by Devon standards reads like a typing error. Flats are the cheap end. Terraces are what most people actually buy. Detached houses are where the money goes. This is a town whose prices have never quite caught up with the county wrapped around it.
The Land Registry recorded 108 sales in the year to May 2026 at a median of £244,500. Flats came in around £130,000 across thirteen sales, terraces at £210,000 across 37, semis at £259,000 across 30, and detached houses at £349,000 across 28. Terraces sold in the largest number, which tells you what the default purchase here really is, whatever the window cards in Fore Street imply.
The published house price index put the average for the area at about £285,900 in May 2026, down around 2% over the twelve months to that date. Flats moved further, down about 6% across the same year. Neither figure is a collapse and neither is a boom. A couple of percent is a market shifting in its chair rather than standing up.
Council tax is where the town quietly does well. Band B is the most common band, nearly 45% of dwellings sit in band A or B, and the band D bill, the one most people can hold against their own, runs at about £2,660 a year.
Renting is measured across the district rather than the town. Typical private rent across the Mid Devon area was about £870 a month as of April 2026, a mean drawn from the Office for National Statistics index rather than an average of what is advertised. By size, one-beds ran about £640, two-beds about £800, three-beds about £990, and anything with four or more bedrooms about £1,445. Those are Mid Devon's numbers, not Cullompton's own, and anyone presenting them otherwise is rounding in their own favour.
Household income here was modelled at about £55,400 before tax for the financial year to March 2023. Against a median sale price of £244,500, that puts the middle of the market within planning distance of a household on middle earnings rather than a mile beyond it. The income figure describes that year and has not moved since, so read it as the shape of local earnings rather than anybody's current payslip.
By floor space, the sales that could be matched to an energy certificate, about 83% of them, produced a median of roughly £3,060 per square metre, with a typical matched home measuring 77 square metres. Ninety sales carried enough detail to measure at all. Square metres are worth checking before a viewing, because they are the one feature nobody can repaint before you arrive.
The bedroom mix from the 2021 census explains most of what reaches the market: 39% of homes have three bedrooms, 29% have two, 23% have four or more and 9% have one. Three-bed family houses are the standard issue here. One-bed homes are scarce enough that people wait for them.
Cost is the strongest card this town holds. Cheap for the county, cheap on the council tax bill, cheap by the square metre. Whatever else gives you pause about Cullompton, the price will not be it.
