About £350,000 for a typical house, which buys you a village and no coastline. Terraces land near a quarter of a million. Detached goes for the high three hundreds. Seven houses changed hands in the whole year. That is not a market so much as a waiting list with a postcode.
The Land Registry recorded a median sale price of £350,000 across the year to May 2026, on seven transactions. Three of those were terraced, at a median of about £250,000, and four were detached, at about £385,000. Seven sales is a village hall noticeboard rather than a market, and it means the median here moves according to which four houses happened to come up, not according to anything a buyer can plan around. Treat the figure as a reading of what sold, not a price list for what you want.
Direction of travel comes from the published house price index, which covers a wider area than this village and gives a truer signal precisely because it is not built on seven sales. Average prices on that index stood at about £280,000 as of May 2026, up 4% over the twelve months. Flats went the other way by a fraction, down 0.4% over the same year, which is close enough to standing still that nobody should build a plan on it. A 4% year is steady, not a boom, and the index does not predict what happens next.
Council tax is dominated by band C, with 27% of dwellings sitting in bands A or B. A band D property in Cornwall runs to about £2,590 a year, which is the figure most readers can hold against their current bill and feel something about. Granite walls and a rural council are not a combination that produces cheap annual charges.
Renting is a county question rather than a village one. Typical private rent across the Cornwall area runs at about £1,000 a month as of April 2026, and that is a mean from the national price index rather than a median of what is currently advertised. By size, one-bedroom homes average about £690 a month, two-bedroom about £880, three-bedroom about £1,080, and anything with four or more about £1,510. Tregony itself has a shop with a post office and a pub, so anyone hoping to rent here is waiting for one of a small number of houses to become free rather than browsing.
Against local earnings, £350,000 is a stretch rather than a reach. Modelled gross household income for this area averaged about £47,600 for the financial year to March 2023, before tax and before anything else comes out of it. That is a dated figure describing that year rather than today, but the shape of the problem does not change: the typical sale price sits well above the multiple most lenders will write against the typical household here. In practice, the buyers are arriving with equity from somewhere else or with a working life already behind them.
On a floor-space basis, sales here work out at roughly £4,220 per square metre, across the 86% of sales we can measure by matching them to an energy certificate's recorded floor area. The typical home behind that figure is about 87 square metres, which is a solid three-bedroom house and not a grand one. The rate is what you pay for space in a village where nobody is building much of it.
The bedroom mix from the 2021 census explains the search results before you run the search. Three-bedroom homes account for 40% of households, four or more for 26%, two-bedroom for 27%, and one-bedroom for 7%. Anyone hunting for a small flat is hunting for something Tregony barely stocks.
On cost, Tregony sits squarely in the middle. You get more square metres than a coastal name would give you for the same money, and you pay a price that local earnings do not comfortably support, which is the ordinary Cornish arrangement rather than a scandal.
