IP25 6 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside IP25 (Thetford). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical IP25 6 home went from £43,000 in 1995 to £230,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 146%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 22% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the IP25 6 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 (+36.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−10.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.0% | −6.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.1% | −4.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.1% | −0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.1% | −0.7% |
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
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 101 sales completed in IP25 6. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 221 sales a year recently, against 269 a year before 2008. 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.
The shape of the IP25 6 market
Against the IP25 district median, IP25 6 sits 8% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
What tenants pay around IP25 6
IP25 6 falls under Breckland, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £920 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £659 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,507 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Breckland
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £230,000 median purchase price, a rent of £920 a month (£11,040 a year) works out at a 4.8% 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.

Is IP25 6 (Watton) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in IP25 6 (Watton)?
Are property prices falling in IP25 6 (Watton)?
Where do IP25 6 prices go next?

What you could buy in IP25 now
This is what you could actually buy today: 193 homes currently on the market from 6 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole IP25 district, not just IP25 6: live asking prices are collected per district.
28% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.

- Washington Drive, Watton, Thetford, Thetford
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
What another bedroom costs in IP
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the IP 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 | — | £297,500 | £400,000 (+34%) | £587,000 (+47%) | £800,000 (+36%) |
| Semi-detached | £215,000 | £252,000 (+17%) | £295,000 (+17%) | £380,750 (+29%) | £527,500 (+39%) |
| Terraced | £195,000 | £220,000 (+13%) | £260,000 (+18%) | £337,500 (+30%) | £510,000 (+51%) |

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.

Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
