About £390,000, if you can get one to come up for sale at all. Barely two dozen changed hands in a year. A detached house clears half a million. Prices have hardly moved. The village isn't expensive so much as unwilling to sell.
The Land Registry records 27 sales in the year to February 2026, at a median of about £390,000. Detached houses went for around £520,000 across 11 sales, semis for about £365,000 across 12, and terraces for about £340,000 across just 4. Nobody sold a flat, which tells you how many there are to sell. With sales that thin, one large detached house on a good plot can move the headline more than the market has in years. Estate agents will call that scarcity. Most other people would call it a village where nobody leaves.
The house-price index for the wider area was down 0.4% over the twelve months to May 2026, which is small enough to call flat. Flats in the index fell 3.8% over the same period. That matters less here than almost anywhere, because Cuxton barely has any. The index average is about £293,000, well under the village's own median. That gap comes from the housing mix in Cuxton, not from anything special about the local bricks.
Band D is the most common council-tax band, and only about 17% of homes sit in bands A or B. A band D bill here is about £2,330 a year. That is the figure to check against your current bill before a cheaper village somewhere else starts looking tempting on paper.
Renting in Cuxton mostly means waiting for something to appear. The typical private rent across the Medway area is about £1,240 a month as of April 2026. That is a Medway-wide average from the Office for National Statistics' rent index, not a figure for Cuxton itself. By size, the Medway averages run to about £900 a month for a one-bed, £1,140 for a two-bed, £1,340 for a three-bed and £1,830 for four bedrooms or more. There are no studio or room figures to give. Anyone hoping to rent a room in a three-bed semi is looking in the wrong village anyway.
Household income here was modelled at about £60,800 a year, gross, before tax, for the financial year to March 2023. It is a respectable income that still leaves the median house a stretch for a first-time buyer on one salary. It sits within reach for a couple who both work, or for anyone arriving with equity from a house somewhere pricier. The village is built for second-time buyers, and they know it.
Of the sales that could be matched to an energy certificate's floor area, which is about 93% of them, the median price was about £4,090 per square metre. The typical floor area behind that figure is about 95 square metres. That is a house with room for a family and not much spare, a size that post-war semis settled on and have stuck with ever since.
In the 2021 Census, three-bedroom homes made up about 47% of the stock, four or more bedrooms about 31%, two bedrooms about 19% and one bedroom about 3%. Downsizers looking for a two-bed will find the choice runs out fast. People hunting for a family home get the most to choose from, and they're competing with everyone else looking for the same thing.
Cuxton isn't a bargain and it isn't a rip-off, just a fair middling price for a settled family house in a village that records few sales. Paying the money is the easy bit. Waiting for a house to come up is the hard part.
