About £328,000 buys the typical house here. Detached is what mostly changes hands. A terrace goes for a good deal less than the headline. Council tax mostly sits in the middle bands, and the rent figures belong to the wider area rather than the village. The number everyone quotes is really a detached number, so Fremington is cheaper than it sounds if you are happy with walls on both sides.
The Land Registry recorded 53 sales in the year to May 2026, at a median of £328,000. Detached homes accounted for 33 of them at a median of £350,000. Semi-detached went at £270,000 across nine sales, terraced at £258,000 across ten. Fifty-three sales in twelve months is a thin market, and thin markets are governed by whatever happens to be listed the week you start looking rather than by anything as tidy as an average.
The published house price index for the area puts the average at about £278,000 as of May 2026, up 0.6% over the preceding twelve months. Six tenths of one percent is not a boom, it is a rounding error with ambitions, and anyone reading momentum into it is reading tea leaves. Flats went the other way over the same twelve months, down about 3%, with a typical flat priced around £135,000. Flats are a small corner of this village, so that movement says more about the handful of them than about the place.
Council tax sits at band C for the largest share of dwellings, with about 22% of them in bands A or B. A band D bill in this area runs to roughly £2,640 a year, which is the number worth holding against whatever you currently pay.
Renting is measured across North Devon rather than the village itself, and the figure is a mean from the Office for National Statistics index rather than a median of what is advertised. Typical private rent across the area was about £850 a month as of April 2026. By size, a one-bedroom averages about £590, a two-bedroom about £780, a three-bedroom £970, and anything with four or more about £1,340.
On affordability, median household income across the area was about £52,000 gross, before tax, modelled for the financial year to March 2023, so it describes that year rather than today. Set that against a typical price of £328,000 and the picture is a stretch rather than an impossibility, which is the polite way of saying two incomes and a decent deposit. The terraced and semi-detached end of the market is where that arithmetic stops hurting, and it is a genuinely different market to the detached one that sets the headline.
Measured by floor space, the median works out at about £3,570 per square metre across the sales that could be matched to an energy certificate's floor area, which is about 89% of them. The typical matched home came in at 88 square metres. That is a fair amount of house for the money by south-west coastal standards, and it is mostly bought in one storey.
The bedroom mix explains what buyers are actually competing for. Census records from 2021 put about 44% of homes at three bedrooms, 27% at two, and another 27% at four or more. One-bedroom homes make up about 3%, so downsizing here means moving into three bedrooms and calling one of them a study.
Value is one of the stronger things Fremington has going for it: comfortably above average, driven by floor space rather than by cheapness, and reliant on you wanting the type of house the village actually sells.
