NE66 3 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside NE66 (Alnwick). 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 NE66 3 home went from £65,500 in 1995 to £410,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 188%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 14% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the NE66 3 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 (+33.3% on the year before); the weakest, 1997 (−16.2%). 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) | +7.3% | +4.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.1% | −2.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.7% | +0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 22 sales completed in NE66 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 90 sales a year before the financial crisis and 57 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.
The rental side of NE66 3
NE66 3 falls under Northumberland, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £679 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £483 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,107, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Northumberland
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £410,500 median sold price, £679 a month is £8,148 a year, a gross yield of 2.0%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
The shape of the NE66 3 market
Only 22 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes NE66 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. Against the NE66 district median, NE66 3 sits 63% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

Are property prices falling in NE66 3 (Shilbottle)?
Is NE66 3 (Shilbottle) a good place to buy a house?

That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 11% over five years in cash but down 12% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: NE prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the NE area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £239,250 | £322,500 (+35%) | £498,100 (+54%) | £700,000 (+41%) |
