The postcode district DN1 covering Doncaster city centre, Hyde Park sits in Doncaster. A district is the workhorse unit for reading a market: local enough to be meaningful, busy enough that the medians rest on a steady flow of sales.

Across 21 registered 2026 sales, the typical (median) DN1 home went for £105,000. The mean is £146,100, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
House prices per square metre in DN1
By floor space, homes in DN1 have sold for about £1,420 per square metre on average over the last five years: the like-for-like measure that lets you compare a small flat with a large house, from the Energy Performance Certificate floor areas behind each sale.

In cash terms the typical DN1 home went from £24,000 in 1995 to £105,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 101%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2006; the current median sits about 28% below that. Someone who bought at the 2006 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the DN1 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2004 (+56.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−18.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 85% of the typed total. In 2009, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £187,500 against £77,500 for a flat, 2.4 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +7.7% | +5.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.1% | −1.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.1% | −1.6% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
How many homes change hands in DN1
The year-by-year sales count
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
The register shows 44 DN1 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 203 sales a year before the financial crisis and 68 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What homes rent for around DN1
The local authority for DN1 is Doncaster, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £689 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £489 a month here against £1,070 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Doncaster
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £105,000 median purchase price, a rent of £689 a month (£8,268 a year) works out at a 7.9% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
How DN1 trades
This is a thin market: 44 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Among the 32 measurable districts of its area, DN1 ranks 30 by median price: towards the affordable end.

Is DN1 (Doncaster city centre) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in DN1 (Doncaster city centre)?

That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 17% over five years in cash but down 8% after inflation.

Moving up a bedroom in DN: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the DN area. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £210,000 | £282,972 (+35%) | £405,000 (+43%) | £520,000 (+28%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
