How Main Street, Bampton prices moved
The chart tracks the median Main Street, Bampton house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1997 to 2015. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 1 | £213,725 | £474,570 |
| 2000s | 1 | £180,000 | £327,907 |
| 2010s | 1 | £630,000 | £888,300 |
The highest yearly median on record for Main Street, Bampton is £630,000 in 2015; the lowest is £180,000 in 2001. Across the full 19-year record the cash median has moved from £213,725 to £630,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £453,161, so the real change over the whole record is +96.0% — about +3.81% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +250.0% in cash against +151.7% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Main Street, Bampton values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Main Street, Bampton is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 47 | 59.5% | £460,000 | £90,000 – £1,855,000 |
| Semi-detached | 17 | 21.5% | £180,000 | £59,500 – £680,000 |
| Terraced | 15 | 19.0% | £208,000 | £65,000 – £355,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Main Street, Bampton
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 79 freehold — 0.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 79 | 100.0% | £312,800 |
| New build | 1 | 1.3% | £347,500 |
| Existing home | 78 | 98.7% | £311,400 |
New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +11.6%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.
A further 2 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

Living in Main Street, Bampton
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Cotswold, 39.3% of 49,354 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 9.5% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 328 | 0.7% |
| B | 7,113 | 14.4% |
| C | 11,955 | 24.2% |
| D | 15,222 | 30.8% |
| E | 10,054 | 20.4% |
| F | 3,707 | 7.5% |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Cotswold at £1,251 a month as of Jun 2026 — £869 for a one-bedroom home and £1,342 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £312,800 here, that rent is a gross yield of 4.80% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of OX18, 83 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 37 violent, 1 burglary, 3 vehicle-related and 14 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 2.0 times quieter.
Against the 90,832 residents the 2021 census counted in Cotswold, that is 0.91 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.
Section 08
The neighbourhood around Main Street, Bampton
The 2021 census counted 90,832 residents in Cotswold across 40,597 households. 67.3% of those households own their home and 32.7% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
13 state and independent schools have a OX18 postcode: 11 primary, 2 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

How Main Street, Bampton compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Main Street, Bampton sits above that national figure — +98.6%.
Within Bampton the street ranks 49 of 112 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £250,000 (+25.1%).
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published here. An estimate would be a guess, and the archive does not publish guesses.
The full range on record runs from £59,500 to £1,855,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.
Main Street, Bampton sits in Cotswold, in the South East.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Cotswold at 13.4 times median local earnings of £33,872 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Main Street, Bampton?
The median price paid in Main Street, Bampton across every sale on the register is £312,800. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in Main Street, Bampton?
79 sales are on record for Main Street, Bampton, the most recent completing on 16 Jan 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Main Street, Bampton house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +250.0% between 2001 and 2015. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +151.7%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Main Street, Bampton house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £630,000, set in 2015. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Main Street, Bampton?
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published for this area. Nothing is estimated to fill the gap.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 16 Jan 2026. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
