The TA6 3 (North Petherton) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 5,839 sales registered with HM Land Registry in TA6 3 (Bridgwater) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 60 registered 2026 sales put the TA6 3 (Bridgwater) median at £215,000, up 23% on five years earlier, with a mean of £209,900, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,500 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 5,839 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
TA6 3 is one sector of TA6 (Bridgwater): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

| 1995 | £36,200 | £78,693 | 82 |
In cash terms the typical TA6 3 home went from £36,200 in 1995 to £215,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 173%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2004, and today's median remains roughly 16% under it: a 2004 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the TA6 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 (+41.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.9%). 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) | +1.5% | −0.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.2% | −0.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.0% | +0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
Over the last twelve months of data, 60 sales completed in TA6 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 318 sales a year before the financial crisis and 119 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 homes rent for around TA6 3
For renting purposes TA6 3 sits in Somerset. The ONS average private rent there is £990 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £674 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,580 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £215,000 median purchase price, a rent of £990 a month (£11,880 a year) works out at a 5.5% 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 TA6 3 is

Moving up a bedroom in TA: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the TA area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.

Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
