Around £345,000, on a market that barely moves. Six houses changed hands in a whole year. Most of the dwellings sit in the two cheapest council tax bands. Renting across the county runs at roughly a thousand a month. So: a price tag that sounds coastal, attached to a place where almost nobody is selling.
The Land Registry records a median sale of about £344,500 in the year to December 2025, across six transactions. Six. That is not a market so much as a set of individual decisions, and it means the median is describing whichever handful of houses happened to come up rather than the value of the housing stock as a whole. There is no reliable split by property type at this scale, because you cannot break six sales into detached, semi and terraced and have any of the resulting numbers mean anything. Anyone pricing a purchase here is working from the wider area and their own nerve.
For direction, the published house price index for the wider area sits at an average of roughly £280,000 as of May 2026, up 4% over the preceding twelve months. Flats moved the other way over the same period, down 0.4%, which is small enough to be noise rather than a story. Neither figure is a forecast, and neither tells you what the next house on the lane will fetch.
Council tax is the part that flatters the place. Band B is the most common band, and just over half of all dwellings on the valuation list fall into bands A or B. A band D property carries an annual bill of about £2,590, which is the figure worth holding up against whatever you currently pay, since most homes here sit below it rather than above.
Renting is thinner ground, because the only dependable measure is the typical private rent across the Cornwall area, at about £1,000 a month. That is a mean from the Office for National Statistics index rather than a median of what is advertised, and it covers the whole county rather than these villages. By size, as of April 2026, a one-bedroom averages around £690, a two-bedroom around £880, a three-bedroom around £1,080, and anything with four bedrooms or more around £1,510. Rents across the area were up 4.6% over the year.
Against local earnings, the purchase figure is a stretch. Modelled household income for the financial year to March 2023 runs at roughly £49,000 gross, before tax, and a house at £344,500 is not a sum that income reaches without either a long-held deposit or money from somewhere else. That is the quiet mechanism behind a market with six sales in a year: the people who already live here bought a while ago, and the people who could buy at today's asking prices are mostly arriving from somewhere with higher salaries and a house to sell.
What your money buys, by size, skews family-shaped. Census 2021 puts three-bedroom homes at about 38% of households, two-bedroom at 32%, four or more at 24%, and one-bedroom at 7%. If you want a one-bed, you are competing for a very short list, and you will probably end up buying a two-bed and calling the second room an office.
Value here sits in the middle of the range. The council tax is genuinely light and the houses are a decent size, but the headline price asks proper money in exchange for a market so shallow that selling in a hurry is the risk nobody prices in.
