The middle of the market here is about £317,500, and what that buys is a stone house rather than a view of one. Detached money starts with a four. Flat money starts with a one. Nothing in between comes up often enough to call a pattern. Moorland pricing is set less by what a house is worth than by how seldom one appears.
The Land Registry recorded 15 sales in the twelve months to May 2026, at a median of about £317,500. Six of those were detached, at a median of about £459,000. Four were terraced, at £292,500. Three were flats, at £180,000. A market that size does not have a smooth middle, it has three small separate markets, and the one you want may not be trading in the month you are looking.
The house price index covering the area put the average at about £302,000 as of May 2026, down about 1% over the preceding twelve months. That is a movement small enough to be rounding rather than a story. Flats moved further on the same index over the same period, down about 5%.
Council tax sits at the cheaper end. Band B is the most common band, and about 34% of dwellings fall into bands A or B. A band D bill here runs about £2,643 a year, which is the number most people can hold against whatever they are currently paying.
Renting is only published across the whole of Teignbridge, so it describes the wider area rather than this town on its own. The Office for National Statistics index, which is a mean rather than a median of advertised listings, put typical private rent at about £950 a month as of April 2026, working out at about £645 for one bedroom, £856 for two, £1,069 for three, and £1,537 for four or more.
Against local earnings, this is a reach rather than a comfortable buy. Modelled household income for the area was about £59,000 gross, before any tax comes off, in the financial year to March 2023, which is a description of that year rather than of a current pay packet. A median-priced house on that kind of income is the sort of purchase that assumes either equity from somewhere else or two incomes pulling hard, which is a reasonable description of who actually buys here.
Twelve of the 15 sales, about 80% of them, could be matched to an energy certificate's floor area. Across the sales that can be measured that way, the median came to about £3,390 per square metre, with the typical matched home at about 106 square metres. Anything older, listed or granite-built will scatter widely around that, because square metres in a Dartmoor town are not interchangeable units.
The bedroom mix explains what is actually on the market. Across 786 households at the 2021 census, about 40% have three bedrooms and about 27% have four or more, with about 27% at two bedrooms and about 6% at one. Downsizing inside the town is a harder trick than moving into it.
Middling is the honest word for what houses cost here. The prices are unremarkable for this part of Devon, the supply is the thing that will define your search, and shortage has never once been talked down at a viewing.
