In cash terms the typical NR20 4 home went from £51,000 in 1995 to £350,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 216%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 6% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the NR20 4 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 (+34.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−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) | +17.6% | +14.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.5% | −1.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.4% | +1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.7% | +0.9% |
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.
Sales activity in NR20 4
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.
NR20 4 recorded 43 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 119 sales a year before the financial crisis and 93 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 NR20 4
The local authority for NR20 4 is Breckland, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
Set against the £350,000 median sold price, £920 a month is £11,040 a year, a gross yield of 3.2%: 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 NR20 4 market
This is a thin market: 43 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. 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. Within NR20, this sector trades 11% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

What another bedroom costs in NR
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the NR area. 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.
