About £395,000, and only if you want a detached house. Seven homes changed hands in a year. Every one of them detached. No flats, no terraces, nothing that resembles a first rung. Sticker sells one shape of house at one kind of price, and the market takes it or drives on.
The Land Registry's last twelve months, running to April 2026, record seven sales in the village at a median of £395,000. All seven were detached, so the overall median and the detached median are the same number. Seven transactions is a thin year even by village standards, and thin samples wander: one unusual house going through would move that figure without anything changing on the ground. Read it as what Sticker trades in rather than a valuation you could take to a lender.
The wider index gives the steadier signal. Across the Cornwall area the average price stood at about £280,000 in May 2026, up about 4% over twelve months and about 11% over five years. Flats went the other way by about half a percent over the same twelve months, which is a rounding wobble rather than a fall, and flats are close to irrelevant in a village that sold seven detached houses and nothing else. Those are published changes for the index area, not for Sticker's own handful of sales, and not a prediction of what happens next.
Council tax is gentler than the sale prices suggest. Band D is the most common band, about 32% of dwellings sit in the two cheapest bands, and a band D bill runs to roughly £2,590 a year. A third of the stock sitting in bands A and B tells you the village holds a good deal of older and smaller property that never appears in a year's sales.
Renting is priced by the county rather than the village. Typical private rent across the Cornwall area was about £1,000 a month as of April 2026, up about 5% over the year, and that is a mean from the Office for National Statistics rent index rather than a median of what is advertised on a Tuesday night. By size, one-bedroom homes average about £690, two-bedroom about £880, three-bedroom about £1,080, and four or more about £1,510. All of those are area typicals rather than Sticker's own.
Set £395,000 against local household income of about £46,200 gross, before tax, modelled for the financial year to March 2023, and the sums stop being comfortable. That income figure describes 2022 into 2023 rather than this morning, but the gap it describes is the kind that does not close quietly. A household on that money buying a detached house at that price is not doing it on salary alone, and anyone assuming otherwise should have the mortgage conversation before the viewing rather than after.
The stock is built around families. The 2021 census puts about 40% of households in three-bedroom homes, about 32% in two, about 25% in four or more, and about 3% in one-bedroom homes. One-bedroom property barely exists here, so anyone searching at the small end is searching an empty shelf.
Costs here land in the middle: not a bargain, not an outrage, just ordinary Cornwall money for a house set back from the coast. The catch is choice. Sticker asks a detached-house price because a detached house is mostly what it has, and there is no cheaper version of the village to fall back on.
