Houses in Kings Worthy cost about £446,000, and that is the polite middle of a very wide spread. Flats sell for less than half that. Detached houses sell for well over £700,000. Four-bedroom homes outnumber the two-bed ones. The median describes almost nobody's actual purchase.
The Land Registry recorded 58 sales in the year to May 2026, at a typical price of about £446,000. Split by type, the nine flats went at a median of £221,000, the 12 terraced houses at about £325,000, the 13 semis at £440,000 and the 24 detached houses at about £718,000. Detached homes made up the biggest group of sales by some distance, so the headline number mostly reflects buyers who came to Kings Worthy for a big house on a decent plot. Anyone with a flat-sized budget is shopping in a market with nine transactions in it. Choice is not the word.
The published house price index for the area put the average at about £477,000 in May 2026, up 3.1% on twelve months earlier. Flats moved much less, up 0.7% over the same year. That is steady rather than dramatic, and the gap between the two says the houses kept climbing while the flats mostly stood still. Estate agents will call the whole thing resilient. The flat owners will call it something else.
Council tax lands mostly in band D, the most common band here, and only 13% of homes sit in bands A or B. A band D bill runs to about £2,360 a year, which is a figure worth putting next to your current one before the viewing rather than after the completion. Bargain-band housing barely exists here.
Renting across the wider district costs about £1,500 a month, and that is the typical private rent across the Winchester area as of April 2026, not a figure for Kings Worthy's own streets. It is an average from the Office for National Statistics rent index, not a median of listings. By bedroom count, that area average runs to about £1,010 a month for a one-bed, £1,310 for a two-bed, £1,610 for a three-bed and £2,240 for four bedrooms or more. With so few homes privately rented, the district rate is a guide to cost, not a promise of availability.
Household income in the area was modelled by the Office for National Statistics at around £78,000 a year before tax, for the financial year to March 2023. That is a comfortable figure, and on paper a two-earner household at that level can reach the semis and terraces. The detached end is another matter, and that is where most of the sales happen. Within reach for the middle of the market, a stretch at the top, and the top is where the action is.
Among the sales that could be matched to an energy certificate's floor area, which covered 88% of them, the median price was about £4,900 per square metre, with a typical floor area of 90 square metres behind it. That is Winchester-district pricing for a post-war village house with room for a sofa that doesn't need to be a corner unit.
The 2021 census shows the bedroom mix leaning large: about 7% of homes have one bedroom, 26% two, 33% three and 34% four or more. Two-thirds of the stock is three bedrooms or bigger, which explains why the median sits where it does and why a first flat here is a rare thing to find. The village was built for families who had already finished growing.
Middling value, then. The prices are fair for what the stock is, and nothing about them counts as a discount on the Winchester address.
