About three hundred thousand pounds, and the number is duller than the village would like. Detached is where the money goes. Terraces are the cheap seats and there are almost none of them. Roughly twenty-nine homes changed hands in a year, which is not a market so much as a slow queue. Nothing here is a bargain and nothing here is a scandal, which is its own kind of verdict.
The Land Registry recorded 29 sales in Tatworth in the year to March 2026, at a median of £305,000. Detached houses accounted for 13 of those, with a median of £371,000. Semi-detached made up 11, at a median of £300,000. Terraces managed four sales, median £228,000. Twenty-nine transactions in twelve months means the sample is small and every individual house has a loud voice in it, so treat the type-level medians as the shape of the market rather than a price list.
For direction, the published house-price index for the area stood at an average of £280,768 in May 2026, up 3% over the twelve months and up 15% over five years. Flats went the other way, down 1% over the year, on an average of £135,286. A 3% move is a small one, and a 1% dip on a flat market this thin is smaller still. Neither number tells you what next year does, and anyone who says otherwise is selling something.
Council tax sits at the affordable end. Band B is the most common band in the village, and 35% of dwellings fall into bands A or B. The band D bill runs to about £2,560 a year, with band A at roughly £1,710 and band H at around £5,120. Most Tatworth households are paying below that band D figure, which is the closest thing the village has to a discount.
Renting is measured across the wider area rather than the village. Typical private rent across the Somerset area is about £990 a month as of April 2026, a mean from the national price index rather than a median of advertised listings. By size, that breaks down to roughly £670 for a one-bedroom, £890 for two, £1,100 for three and £1,580 for four or more. Whether any of those exist in Tatworth on the day you look is a separate question, given how few properties turn over here.
On affordability, median household income across the wider area was modelled at £51,600 gross before tax for the financial year to March 2023. That is an older figure than the prices it sits next to, and it is before anything is deducted. Against a £305,000 median sale, it is a stretch of the ordinary rural kind: reachable with two incomes and a deposit, hard on one, and unforgiving if what you want is the detached house rather than the semi.
By floor area, the median works out at about £3,280 per square metre for the sales that could be matched to an energy certificate, which is 52% of them. The typical matched property came in at around 89 square metres. Half the sales carry no measurable floor area at all, so that figure describes the measurable half rather than the whole village.
The bedroom mix explains why the market moves slowly. Three-bedroom homes make up 43% of households on Census 2021 counts, with 28% at four or more, 25% at two and 4% at one. This is a village built around the family house that people then stayed in, which is a fine thing to own and a frustrating thing to buy into.
Middling, then, and honestly so: Tatworth costs roughly what a settled Somerset village with detached houses and no station ought to cost. You are not paying a premium for anything glamorous, and nobody is handing you a discount for the drive.
