The typical Dursley home costs about £280,000, and Stinchcombe Hill comes with it for nothing. Flats go for around £150,000. A detached house still costs less than £400,000. Three bedrooms is the house most people live in. For a town on the edge of the Cotswolds, that's a fair price, and some of it is a bargain.
The Land Registry recorded 90 sales in Dursley in the year to mid-May 2026, at a median of about £280,000. The type of home makes the difference. The 15 flats that sold had a median of about £150,000, the 24 terraces about £239,000, the 28 semis about £293,000 and the 23 detached houses about £395,000. Those 90 sales run from flats above the high street to houses on the hill, and the median between them mostly describes the semi in the middle. With so few sales of each type, check the sold prices on the exact street before you trust the town-wide figure.
The official house price index for the area put the average price at about £349,000 in May 2026, up about 4% on a year earlier. That's a broader measure than the local median, so the two figures will never match. Flats behaved differently, ending the twelve months down by a fraction of a percent, which in practice means they didn't move. A flat bought in Dursley a year ago is worth about what was paid for it.
Band B is the most common council tax band in Dursley, and Bands A and B together cover about 46% of homes. Stroud District charges about £2,490 a year at Band D, the figure most people compare their own bill against, and Dursley's most common band is two steps below that. The Band A bill is about £1,660. The tax list sees a town of modest houses, and the sale prices mostly agree with it.
Stroud District as a whole had a typical private rent of about £1,040 a month in April 2026. That figure is a mean from the Office for National Statistics rent index, averaged across the district, so it isn't a median of Dursley listings. By size, the district averages were about £740 for one bedroom, £960 for two, £1,170 for three and £1,660 for four or more. Only about 14% of Dursley households rent privately, so the choice in town at any one moment is thin. A family that can't buy here still pays for the hill, one month at a time.
Household income in Dursley was about £54,000 a year in the financial year to March 2023. That's a gross figure, before tax, and modelled by the Office for National Statistics for the two neighbourhood areas that cover the town. Set against a median sale price of about £280,000, a typical house here is within reach for most local households. It's a stretch on one salary and a manageable plan on two.
Where a sale can be matched to the floor area on its energy certificate, Dursley homes sold at a median of about £3,300 per square metre. That covers about 89% of the year's sales, the ones that can be measured, and the typical home behind the figure is 84 square metres. That's a sensible family house, with room for a dining table but not for a dining room.
The 2021 census puts about 9% of Dursley homes at one bedroom, 27% at two, 41% at three and 23% at four or more. This is a three-bedroom town. A single buyer looking for a one-bed flat is choosing from a short list, and the 15 flat sales in the Land Registry's year back that up.
Prices are one of Dursley's real strengths. A proper house with a garden still comes in at a figure an ordinary local household can borrow without needing a miracle.
