About £298,000 for the middle of the market, which is Cornwall pricing without the postcard tax. Detached is where the money goes. Terraces are where the money starts. Not many houses change hands here in a given year, so the market is small enough that a handful of unusual sales move the numbers. What you are buying is a hillside village rather than a coastline, and the price reflects the difference.
Take the Land Registry's record for the year to May 2026. The median sale came in at £298,000 across 39 transactions, which is a thin market by any standard and worth remembering before treating any of these figures as gospel. Detached homes carried a median of £337,000 across 20 sales. Semi-detached sat at £235,000 across 8. Terraces landed at £220,000 across 10. The gap between the terrace end and the detached end is a bit over a hundred thousand, and it buys you separation from your neighbours rather than a different village.
The published house-price index for the area recorded a 4% increase over the twelve months to May 2026, with the average price at around £280,000. Over five years the same index is up 11%. Flats have gone the other way, down a fraction of a percent over the year, though with flats making up a sliver of the local stock that figure is describing a market that barely exists here. Month to month the index moved by a tenth of a percent, which is noise rather than news.
Council tax is one of the gentler parts of the picture. Band C is the most common band, and 43% of dwellings sit in bands A or B. A band D bill runs to around £2,590 a year, which is the figure most people can hold against whatever they are paying now.
Renting is a wider-area question. The typical private rent across the Cornwall area, taken as a mean from the national price index rather than a median of advertised listings, runs at about £1,000 a month, up 4.6% over the year to April 2026. By size, one-bedroom places average around £690, two-bedrooms around £880, three-bedrooms around £1,080, and four or more around £1,510. Those cover the whole council area, not this village, so treat them as the shape of the market rather than a quote.
On affordability, household income here was modelled at around £43,000 gross before tax for the financial year to March 2023. Against a median sale of £298,000, that is a stretch of the familiar Cornish kind: not the eye-watering multiple of the fashionable coast, but not a place where a single local income buys a detached house either. The income figure describes 2022 to 2023, so it is a reference point rather than a current payslip.
For price per square metre, the sales that could be matched to an energy certificate's floor area, around 95% of them, come out at a median of roughly £3,250. The typical matched property had about 82 square metres of floor space, which is a modest three-bedroom footprint rather than a family house with room to spare.
The bedroom mix explains why. Around 45% of households have three bedrooms and 31% have two, with 19% at four or more and 5% at one. This is a village built for households of two to four people, and the stock does not really offer an alternative.
Prices here are unremarkable in the best sense: neither the bargain that would raise questions nor the premium the coastal name suggests. Middling, and honest about it.
