About £299,000, which in Cornwall terms is the price of not having a sea view. Detached houses run higher. Terraces run a long way lower. Around fifty homes changed hands in a year, so this is less a market than a slow queue. Illogan is affordable by the standards of the county around it, and that is most of what it is selling.
The Land Registry recorded 52 sales in the year to May 2026, at a median of about £299,000. Detached houses came in at a median of around £360,000 across 27 sales, semi-detached at around £275,000 across 19, and terraced at around £160,000, though only six terraces sold in the whole period, so that figure is a hint rather than a going rate. The distance between the detached median and the terraced one is wide enough that buyers at either end are effectively shopping in different villages.
The published house price index for the area puts the average at about £280,000 as of May 2026, up about 4% over the twelve months and around 11% over five years. Flats went the other way, down 0.4% over the same year, from an average of about £147,000. A fraction of a percent is not a collapse and nobody should write it up as one.
Council tax lands mostly at band C, with about 49% of dwellings sitting in band A or B. A band D bill comes to roughly £2,590 a year, which is the number worth holding up against whatever arrives through your own letterbox now.
Renting is priced at county level rather than village level. The Office for National Statistics price index gives a mean private rent of about £1,000 a month across the Cornwall area as of April 2026, with one-bedroom homes around £690, two-bedroom around £880, three-bedroom around £1,080 and four or more around £1,510. That mean covers harbour flats and inland terraces alike, so treat it as the shape of the Cornish rental market rather than the asking price on any particular Illogan bungalow.
Against local earnings, the stretch is real. Modelled household income for the area came to about £43,000 gross, before tax, in the financial year to March 2023. Put that next to a median sale price near £299,000 and the ownership pattern here stops being a mystery: most people did not buy at today's prices, and the ones arriving now are mostly bringing equity from somewhere else.
Measured by floor space, the sales that can be measured came to a median of about £3,300 per square metre, on a typical floor area of around 87 square metres. That covers roughly 60% of sales, the ones that could be matched to an energy certificate carrying a floor area, so it describes the measurable part of the market rather than all of it.
On bedrooms, Census 2021 puts about 44% of households in three-bedroom homes and 31% in two-bedroom, with 18% at four or more and 7% at one. Anyone searching for a one-bedroom place is chasing the smallest slice of the village, and will spend a while doing it.
Middling is the honest word for what houses cost in Illogan. Cheaper than the coast, dearer than the earnings underneath it, and priced almost exactly where a village that is near the sea without being on it ought to be.
