A typical house in Tetbury sells for about £410,000. Detached houses go for the better part of £600,000. Terraces come in under £400,000. Flats are the only way in under a quarter of a million, and very few of them sell. For a stone wool town with a famous neighbour, prices are steep but nowhere near what the setting might lead you to expect.
The Land Registry recorded 100 sales in Tetbury in the year to mid-May 2026, at a median of £410,000. Semis sold at the same figure across 33 sales. Detached houses went for about £585,000 across 27 sales, terraces for about £360,000 across 31, and flats for about £245,000 across just nine. The spread is wide enough that "Tetbury" on its own tells a buyer very little. The word that comes after it, whether semi, terrace or detached, decides which budget you need.
On the UK House Price Index, prices in Tetbury's index area were up 3.9% in the twelve months to May 2026, to an average of about £408,000. Over five years the same index is up about 11%. Flats rose just 0.7% over the same twelve months, to an average of about £201,000, so flats have barely moved. That is steady growth with no boom in it, and the steepest climb in town is still the one up Gumstool Hill.
The most common council tax band in Tetbury is C, and about one home in five sits in band A or B. Cotswold District Council's band D bill is about £2,390 a year, band A is about £1,590 and band H about £4,780. The town has homes in every band from A to H, so look up the actual band of the house you want on the valuation list instead of assuming it from the street.
The Office for National Statistics puts typical private rent across the Cotswold district at about £1,260 a month as of April 2026, up 8% on a year earlier. That is an average for the whole district, and Tetbury does not have a figure of its own. By size, the same district averages are about £880 for one bedroom, £1,110 for two, £1,350 for three and £2,060 for four or more. No reliable figure exists for studios or single rooms.
Household income in the area was modelled at about £60,500 a year before tax for the financial year to March 2023, or about £44,100 after tax. Against a £410,000 median, that puts the typical house within reach of a two-income household with a solid deposit and well out of reach for anyone buying alone. That income figure is also three years old and before tax, and both of those make it sound bigger than the monthly pay that actually lands.
Across the 78% of sales that could be matched to an energy certificate's floor area, the median price was about £4,500 per square metre, for a typical home of 93 square metres. That covers most of the market but not all of it. Homes that have never had a certificate are missing from it, and in a town this old, plenty haven't.
At the 2021 Census, 39% of Tetbury households lived in three-bedroom homes and 27% in four or more bedrooms. Another 23% had two bedrooms and 11% had one. The 93-square-metre typical home fits that picture, which is mostly family houses with very little at the small end. A first-time buyer looking for a one-bedroom place is shopping in the smallest part of the market.
Tetbury costs about what a Cotswold market town should, with steady growth, family houses and a hard entry point at the bottom. It isn't cheap and it isn't extortionate, and the property type you can afford matters more than the town itself.
