About £276,000 for the typical house, which in this part of Somerset counts as a bargain with a straight face. A detached house runs to around £400,000. A terrace comes in nearer £258,000. A flat, if you can find one, sits at about £120,000. The village is cheap for what surrounds it, and that gap is the whole story.
The Land Registry recorded 32 sales in the year to April 2026, with a median of around £276,000. Split by type, detached houses had a median of around £400,000 across 9 sales, semi-detached houses around £276,000 across 12, terraces around £258,000 across 6, and flats around £120,000 across 5. That is a spread of roughly £280,000 between the cheapest type and the dearest, which means the village median is a useful headline and a useless guide to any actual property. Thirty-two sales is also a thin year, so a couple of large detached sales move the picture more than they would in a town.
The published house price index for the area put the average price at around £281,000 as of May 2026, up around 3% over the preceding twelve months and around 15% over five years. Flats went the other way over the same twelve months, down around 1%. That is a small change on a small base, not a collapse, and the flat market here is a handful of transactions rather than a market with momentum of its own.
Council tax is where the value case gets reinforced. Band B is the most common band, and around 42% of dwellings sit in bands A or B. A band D bill in this area runs to around £2,561 a year, which is the figure worth holding against whatever you currently pay, because most buyers here will be landing below it rather than above.
Renting is harder to pin down, because the reliable figure is a county one. Typical private rent across the Somerset area runs at about £990 a month, a mean from the Office for National Statistics rent index rather than a median of what is advertised locally. By size, that breaks down to around £670 for a one-bedroom, around £890 for two, around £1,100 for three and around £1,580 for four or more. Treat those as the shape of the wider Somerset market, not as the price of the cottage on the corner.
On affordability, modelled gross household income for the area in the financial year to March 2023 came to around £43,800 before tax. Set against a typical sale price of around £276,000, that is a stretch but not an absurd one, and it is a considerably gentler stretch than the same exercise produces almost anywhere within sight of this coastline. The income figure describes 2022 and 2023, not today, so it dates faster than the price does.
Per square metre, sales that could be matched to an energy certificate's floor area came out at a median of around £3,100, covering around 84% of the sales we can measure. The typical matched property had a floor area of around 100 square metres, which is a proper three-bedroom house rather than a cottage with ambitions. The bedroom mix from the 2021 census backs that up: around 47% of households have three bedrooms, around 31% have two, around 15% have four or more, and around 7% have one. Williton is built around the three-bedroom family house, and the market prices accordingly.
Value for money is the strongest thing this village has going for it. Whatever else you weigh up about living here, the price of getting in is not the argument against it.
