About £471,000, which buys you a detached house and no argument. Almost everything that changes hands here is detached. The whole market turns over about fourteen times a year. The occasional terrace goes for a good deal less, when one appears. Redlynch has no cheap end, only a detached end and a short queue of people waiting for something smaller to come up.
In the year to March 2026 the Land Registry recorded 14 sales in Redlynch, at a median of roughly £471,000. Ten of those were detached, with a median of about £471,000. Three were terraces, at around £295,000. Fourteen sales across a whole year is not a market so much as a rota, and it means the property you want is rarely the property that is available.
The published house-price index puts the average for the wider index area at about £327,000 as of May 2026, up around 2 percent over twelve months. That is a shrug rather than a surge. Flats in the same index moved the other way over the same period, down about 2 percent, though flats are close to a theoretical category in a place built out of detached houses and bungalows.
Council tax sits where the housing stock puts it. Band E is the most common band on the valuation list, and only 10 percent of dwellings fall into bands A or B combined. A band D bill in this area runs to about £2,570 a year, which is the figure most readers can hold against their own, with the reminder that the typical home here sits a rung above it.
Renting is priced as a county, not a village. The typical private rent across the Wiltshire area is about £1,060 a month, a mean from the Office for National Statistics rent index rather than a median of what is advertised on any given week. By size across that same area, a one-bedroom averages about £730 a month, a two-bed about £950, a three-bed about £1,190, and four bedrooms or more about £1,710. Given what Redlynch is made of, the last two are the relevant ones.
On income, the Office for National Statistics models gross household income for this area at about £65,800 before tax, and that is for the financial year to March 2023 rather than a current figure. Put that alongside a median sale price of about £471,000 and the picture resolves quickly: this is not a place people buy into on a local salary. It is a place people arrive at with equity from somewhere else, which is why the sales that do happen tend to be quiet ones.
Price per square metre lands at about £4,350, on a typical floor area of 119 square metres. That covers the sales that could be matched to an energy certificate's floor area, roughly 57 percent of them, so treat it as the measurable half of the market rather than the whole thing. Space is the one thing the money is genuinely buying.
The bedroom mix from the 2021 Census explains why the entry rung is missing. Three-bedroom homes account for 40 percent of households and four or more another 38 percent. Two-bedroom homes make up 20 percent, and one-bedroom properties just 2 percent. Whatever you are searching for, the search results are going to be family houses.
Cost is where Redlynch scores worst on every measure this page tracks. The homes are large, the prices are high, the choice is thin, and there is almost nothing here for anyone buying their first place rather than their third.
