About £315,000 for the typical house, which buys more village than most of Somerset manages at that money. The gap between the cheapest type and the dearest is narrow. Nothing here sold at a headline-grabbing price. The market is small enough that a busy month changes the picture. This is a place that prices like a village rather than like a Bath postcode, and the eight miles between the two is doing all the work.
The Land Registry's twelve months to May 2026 records 35 sales at a median of £315,000. By type, terraced homes came in at a median of £300,000, semi-detached at £365,000 and detached at £417,500. That is an unusually tight spread between the entry point and the top of the market. Most villages have a Georgian end and a nineteen-seventies end with a chasm in between. Timsbury built the bulk of its housing in one long twentieth-century stretch, so what you get is a market where trading up a rung costs less than it does almost anywhere within reach of Bath.
The published house-price index for the area put the average at £406,169 as of May 2026, up 0.9% over the previous twelve months. That is a small movement and worth calling small: it is a market holding its position rather than doing anything. Flats went the other way over the same period, down 2.2%, though flats are a marginal part of the stock here and a small number of them can swing a percentage around.
Council tax mostly lands in the middle. Band C is the most common, and around 32% of dwellings sit in bands A or B. A band D bill in this authority runs to roughly £2,380 a year, which is the number most readers can hold against their own.
Renting is harder to pin to the village. The typical private rent across the Bath and North East Somerset area is about £1,880 a month, and that is a mean from the national rent index covering the whole authority, Bath included, rather than a median of what is advertised on the High Street. By bedroom, the same area figures run at around £1,200 for a one-bed, £1,510 for a two-bed, £1,800 for a three-bed and £2,530 for four or more. Read those as the ceiling of what the area does, not as the going rate for a Timsbury semi.
On affordability, modelled gross household income for the area in the financial year to March 2023 was about £62,600 before tax. Set against a median sale of £315,000, that is the familiar British arithmetic: not comfortable, not absurd. It puts the typical house in reach of two earners and out of reach of one, which is roughly where the whole country sits and why nobody here talks about it much.
For the sales that can be measured, meaning the 69% matched to an energy certificate's floor area, the median works out at about £3,980 per square metre, with a typical matched floor area of 81 square metres. That is a small-to-middling family house rather than a rambling one, and it is worth remembering the figure covers only two-thirds of the sales.
The bedroom mix explains why. From the 2021 census, around 46% of homes have three bedrooms, roughly 25% have two, another 25% have four or more, and only about 5% have one. This is three-bedroom country. If you want a one-bed here you will be waiting, and if you want a six-bed you will be building it.
Value here is fair rather than remarkable. You pay a reasonable price for a reasonable house, the market moves slowly, and the thing you are actually buying with the saving against Bath is the eight miles.
