A typical house in Moreton-in-Marsh costs about £375,000, which is the Cotswolds with a discount for being a town where people need to get to work. A semi goes for about that. A detached house costs well over half a million. A flat comes in under £200,000. You are paying for Cotswold stone, and the station and the supermarket come with it at no extra charge.
The Land Registry recorded 83 sales in the year to late May 2026, with a median of £375,000. Prices split cleanly by type. The 27 detached houses sold for a median of about £570,000, the 29 semis for £370,000, the 16 terraces for about £320,000 and the 11 flats for £195,000. With that few sales, a couple of big farmhouse-style deals can move the detached figure on their own. The semi is the house the median describes, and it is the house most of the town lives in.
On the official house price index, average prices covering Moreton-in-Marsh were up 3.9% over the twelve months to May 2026. Flats rose 0.7% over the same period, which is close to no change at all. Houses here are holding their price well. Flats gained very little, so anyone buying one to sell on in a few years should not count on a profit.
Band C is the most common council tax band, and only about 13% of homes are in band A or B. Cotswold District puts a band D bill at about £2,390 a year, which is the band most people can compare against what they pay now. The bands date from valuations made decades ago, so check the band on the Valuation Office Agency list for the actual house. Two houses that look alike on the same street can sit in different bands.
If you are renting, typical private rent across the Cotswold area is about £1,260 a month as of April 2026, an average from the Office for National Statistics index. By size, that comes to about £880 for one bedroom, about £1,110 for two, about £1,350 for three and about £2,060 for four or more. Those figures cover the whole district, so they mix town flats with village cottages that rent mostly for the view. Studio and room rents are not published.
The Office for National Statistics models gross household income, before tax, at about £52,000 for the financial year to March 2023. Set against a £375,000 median, that makes buying a stretch on one local salary and possible on two. Detached houses here are mostly bought by people who are selling somewhere else first, and the asking prices assume that.
For the sales that could be matched to an energy certificate's floor area, about 77% of the total, the median price works out at about £4,300 a square metre. The typical floor area behind that figure is 90 square metres, a compact family house and nothing like a manor. The stone frontages make it easy to overestimate the space inside.
The 2021 Census counts about 39% of homes with three bedrooms, 30% with two, 21% with four or more and 9% with one. With 90 square metres as the typical floor area, most of those three-bedroom houses have one bedroom that only just counts. One-bed buyers have very little to choose from.
Houses in Moreton-in-Marsh cost a bit less than the setting would lead you to expect, which makes the town better value than average for the Cotswolds. You get a family semi near a station for about what an ordinary house costs elsewhere in the hills, and the higher prices start once you want a detached house.
