| 1995 | £48,000 | £104,345 | 101 |
In cash terms the typical S36 6 home went from £48,000 in 1995 to £192,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 84%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2008, and today's median remains roughly 33% under it: a 2008 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the S36 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 (+42.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−27.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −16.3% | −18.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.3% | −4.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.7% | −1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.8% |
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 6
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.
S36 6 recorded 34 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 148 sales a year before the financial crisis and 94 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.
Rents around S36 6
The local authority for S36 6 is Barnsley, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £678 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £494 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,061, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Barnsley
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £192,500 median purchase price, a rent of £678 a month (£8,136 a year) works out at a 4.2% 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.
What kind of market S36 6 is
Only 34 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes S36 6 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.

How much did a house sell for in S36 6 (Bolsterstone)?
Are property prices falling in S36 6 (Bolsterstone)?
Is S36 6 (Bolsterstone) a good place to buy a house?
Are S36 6 prices heading up or down?

The price of an extra bedroom in S
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the S area. 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.
| 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%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
