Bolsterstone market report S36 2, Sheffield
The S36 2 (Bolsterstone) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. This page is built from the public record and nothing else: 3,864 completed sales registered with HM Land Registry in S36 2 (Sheffield) since 1995, plus current ONS rental figures. There are no valuations, estimates or asking prices in it.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 42 registered 2026 sales put the S36 2 (Sheffield) median at £191,500, up 2% on five years earlier, with a mean of £212,200, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,560 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 3,864 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
S36 2 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside S36 (Sheffield). 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.

The going rate for a home in S36 2
The 2026 median for S36 2 is £191,500, taken from 42 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £212,200, modestly above it, the usual shape of a market with an expensive tail.
S36 2 prices by floor area
A square metre of S36 2 home has cost about £2,560 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so S36 2 trades 33% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical S36 2 home went from £48,200 in 1995 to £191,500 in 2026, roughly 4.0 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 83%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2024, and today's median remains roughly 26% under it: a 2024 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the S36 2 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 2024 (+24.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−23.1%). 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) | −23.1% | −24.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.4% | −4.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.6% | −0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Sales activity in S36 2
How many homes change hands
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, 42 sales completed in S36 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 154 sales a year before the financial crisis and 123 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 S36 2 is
Only 42 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes S36 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.
Rents around S36 2
S36 2 falls under Sheffield, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £922 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £683 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,327, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Sheffield
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £191,500 median purchase price, a rent of £922 a month (£11,064 a year) works out at a 5.8% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: S prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the S 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 | — | £235,000 | £330,000 (+40%) | £495,000 (+50%) | £750,000 (+52%) |
| Semi-detached | £160,000 | £175,000 (+9%) | £220,000 (+26%) | £321,000 (+46%) | £550,000 (+71%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
