| 1995 | £49,400 | £107,388 | 99 |
In cash terms the typical EX22 home went from £49,400 in 1995 to £290,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 170%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 27% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the EX22 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 2002 (+31.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−10.2%). 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 detached houses dominate the record here, 58% of the typed total. In 2024, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £350,000 against £138,000 for a flat, 2.5 times the price.

What EX22 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | −2.5% | −4.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.9% | −5.5% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +1.6% | −2.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.8% | +0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.4% | −1.4% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 118 sales completed in EX22. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 208 sales a year before the financial crisis and 134 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What kind of market EX22 is
This is a thin market: 118 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. Detached homes made up 53% of last year's sales, an unusually house-heavy mix that keeps the median well above what a flat or terrace here goes for. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.
The rental side of EX22
For renting purposes EX22 sits in Torridge. The ONS average private rent there is £787 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £564 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,267, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Torridge
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £290,000 median purchase price, a rent of £787 a month (£9,444 a year) works out at a 3.3% 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.
What people ask about EX22 (Holsworthy)
How much did a house sell for in EX22 (Holsworthy)?
Are property prices falling in EX22 (Holsworthy)?
Is EX22 (Holsworthy) a good place to buy a house?
Will EX22 prices rise from here?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is down 5% over five years in cash but down 25% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
Month by month: when EX22 sells
Across the 852 sales completed in EX22 from 2021 to 2025, June was the busiest month for completions (12.3% of the total) and August the quietest (6.0%). That is a marked seasonal rhythm. A sale completes weeks after it is agreed, so the busy month reflects deals struck earlier in the year; a seller who wants competition should be on the market ahead of it.

The price of an extra bedroom in EX
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the EX 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 | £290,000 | £325,000 (+12%) | £375,000 (+15%) | £470,000 (+25%) | £625,000 (+33%) |
| Semi-detached | £205,500 | £250,000 (+22%) | £295,000 (+18%) | £367,000 (+24%) | £450,000 (+23%) |
| Terraced | £171,500 | £220,000 (+28%) | £256,000 (+16%) | £300,000 (+17%) | £365,000 (+22%) |
| Flat | £134,000 | £180,000 (+34%) | £270,000 (+50%) | £305,250 (+13%) | £437,500 (+43%) |
Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
