About £351,000 for a typical sale, which buys a lot less village than the postcard suggests. Flats go for a fraction of that. Detached houses go for well over half a million. Thirty sales in a year is not a market so much as a queue. The headline number is honest and almost useless, because nobody here is buying the average.
The Land Registry's transactions for the year to May 2026 put the median at around £351,000 across 30 sales. Split by type, the spread is the whole story: flats around £185,000 from three sales, terraces around £275,000 from eleven, semi-detached around £342,500 from six, and detached around £574,500 from ten. Two thirds of what sold was a terrace, semi or detached house, and the gap between the cheapest and the dearest of those is roughly the price of a second terrace.
For direction, the published house-price index for the area stood at about £327,000 as of May 2026, up 1.6% over twelve months. That is a small change and worth calling small. Flats moved the other way over the same twelve months, down 1.8%, on an index price of about £158,000. Neither figure is a forecast, and neither is large enough to plan around.
Council tax mostly lands in band C, with about 32% of dwellings in bands A or B. A band D bill in this area runs around £2,570 a year, which is the figure most readers can hold against their own without doing sums.
Renting is measured at the wider level rather than the village's own. The typical private rent across the Wiltshire area is about £1,060 a month, as of April 2026, taken as a mean from the national rent index rather than a median of advertised listings. By size, one-beds average around £733 a month, two-beds around £952, three-beds around £1,193, and four-beds or larger around £1,706.
On affordability, modelled gross household income for the area in the financial year to March 2023 was around £56,000 before tax. Set that against a £351,000 median and the arithmetic is uncomfortable but not absurd; set it against a £574,500 detached house and the arithmetic stops being local. The money buying the larger houses here is being earned somewhere else, or was earned some time ago.
Of the sales that could be matched to an energy certificate's floor area, which is about two thirds of them, the median works out at roughly £4,330 per square metre, on a typical floor area of about 84 square metres. That is the middle of the measurable market, not every sale, and it flatters nothing.
The bedroom mix from the 2021 census explains what people are actually searching for. Roughly 39% of households have three bedrooms and about 27% have two, with 26% at four or more and only 8% at one. The village is built around the three-bed house, and the one-bed hunting ground is small enough to be a problem.
Prices here sit in the middle: not a bargain, not a scandal, and heavily dependent on which of the four property types you end up chasing. The flat market is cheap because it is tiny, and the detached market is expensive because the people buying it are not competing on a Wiltshire salary.
