In cash terms the typical GL54 home went from £86,800 in 1995 to £428,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 127%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 25% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the GL54 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 2003 (+28.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−12.4%). 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, 44% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £576,000 against £306,000 for a flat, 1.9 times the price.

Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
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.
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 298 GL54 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 473 sales a year before the financial crisis and 317 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.
How GL54 trades
Among the 27 measurable districts of its area, GL54 ranks 4 by median price: firmly in the dearer tier.
What homes rent for around GL54
GL54 falls under Cotswold, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,255 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £871 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,044 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Cotswold
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,255 a month is £15,060 a year, which against the £428,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.5%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

What another bedroom costs in GL
Real sold prices by size across the GL area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
