Around £319,000 for the middle of this market, which out here buys a house rather than an apology for one. Detached is where the money goes. Terraced is the way in. Flats barely exist as an option. Nobody is getting a steal, and nobody is being taken for a fool either.
The Land Registry recorded 162 sales in the year to May 2026, with the median landing at £319,000. Split that by type and the village stops looking like one market. Detached homes came in at a median of about £422,000 across 79 sales, semi-detached at around £268,000 across 37, and terraced at £223,000 across 43. Flats sold at a median of £150,000, though only three of them changed hands all year, which is less a market than a rumour. The practical version: the gap between the terraced end and the detached end is the whole decision, and everything else is decoration.
The published house price index for the area put the average at about £281,000 as of May 2026, up 3% over the preceding twelve months. Flats over the same period came in around 1% lower. That flat figure is small enough to be noise rather than news, and neither number is a forecast of what happens next.
Council tax settles mostly in band C, which is the most common band here, with around 24% of dwellings sitting in the two cheapest bands. For a comparison most people can run against their own bill, band D in this area costs about £2,560 a year.
Renting is measured at county level rather than village level. The typical private rent across the Somerset area runs at about £990 a month, which is a mean from the Office for National Statistics rent index rather than a median of what is currently advertised in a window. By size, one-bedroom places average about £670 a month, two-bedroom about £890, three-bedroom about £1,100, and four or more bedrooms about £1,580. Treat all of it as the shape of the county rather than the price of the specific house you have your eye on.
Against local earnings, the price is a stretch of the ordinary kind rather than the eye-watering kind. Modelled household income for the financial year to March 2023 came in at around £57,900 gross, before any tax comes off it. That is a household figure and an older one, so it describes the year it covers and not this month, but it explains why the terraced and semi-detached end of the market moves briskly and the detached end takes its time.
By floor space, sales work out at a median of about £3,450 per square metre. That covers the sales that could be matched to an energy certificate's floor area, roughly 75% of them, so it is a solid guide rather than a complete census of every transaction. The typical floor area behind that figure is around 85 square metres, which is a normal three-bedroom family house and not a generous one.
The bedroom mix explains why the market behaves the way it does. About 40% of households here have three bedrooms and around 35% have four or more, leaving roughly 20% with two and about 5% with one. That is a place built for households that already contain more than one person and expect to contain more later. Anyone hunting a small flat is shopping in the wrong village, and the sales figures back that up more bluntly than any estate agent will.
What houses cost here is one of the better arguments for buying here. The money buys space, the entry level is genuinely reachable at the terraced end, and the price of a family house has not yet floated off into the realm of things you read about rather than afford.
