In cash terms the typical SN5 4 home went from £68,000 in 1995 to £325,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 120%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2006. The market now sits about 22% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SN5 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 2000 (+40.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−16.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.5% | −9.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.3% | −1.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.9% | −1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.5% | −1.2% |
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.
How many homes change hands in SN5 4
Sales per year, counted
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, 43 sales completed in SN5 4. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 82 sales a year over the last five years against 71 before the financial crisis. 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 rental side of SN5 4
For renting purposes SN5 4 sits in Wiltshire. The ONS average private rent there is £1,064 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £736 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,711, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Wiltshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £325,000 median sold price, £1,064 a month is £12,768 a year, a gross yield of 3.9%: 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 SN5 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. Against the SN5 district median, SN5 4 sits 20% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

The price of an extra bedroom in SN
Real sold prices by size across the SN area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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 | — | £330,000 | £440,000 (+33%) | £640,000 (+45%) | £897,500 (+40%) |
| Semi-detached | £240,000 | £281,250 (+17%) | £330,000 (+17%) | £417,000 (+26%) | £650,000 (+56%) |

| Flat | £140,000 | £170,000 (+21%) | £298,000 (+75%) | — | — |
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.
