How Stanwell Drive, Bideford prices moved
The chart tracks the median Stanwell Drive, Bideford house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1999 to 2006. 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 | £84,950 | £188,629 |
| 2000s | 4 | £192,750 | £351,134 |
The highest yearly median on record for Stanwell Drive, Bideford is £205,000 in 2004; the lowest is £84,950 in 1999. Across the full 8-year record the cash median has moved from £84,950 to £192,750.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £173,092, so the real change over the whole record is +98.2% — about +10.27% 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: +126.9% in cash against +98.2% 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.

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 Stanwell Drive, Bideford 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. Stanwell Drive, Bideford 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 | 45 | 46.4% | £190,000 | £50,000 – £595,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 30 | 30.9% | £220,000 | £175,000 – £325,000 |
| Semi-detached | 22 | 22.7% | £118,500 | £17,500 – £316,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Stanwell Drive, Bideford
30 of the sales on record are leasehold and 67 freehold — 30.9% 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.
The median leasehold sale is £228,250 and the median freehold sale £169,950 — a gap of -25.5%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 30 | 30.9% | £228,250 |
| Freehold | 67 | 69.1% | £169,950 |
| New build | 29 | 29.9% | £135,000 |
| Existing home | 68 | 70.1% | £233,750 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -42.2%. 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.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across North Devon, 39.9% of 53,724 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 10.2% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in North Devon at £843 a month as of Jun 2026 — £587 for a one-bedroom home and £961 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £198,950 here, that rent is a gross yield of 5.08% 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 EX39, 21 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 7 violent, 0 burglary, 0 vehicle-related and 5 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 8.0 times quieter.
Against the 98,611 residents the 2021 census counted in North Devon, that is 0.21 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 Stanwell Drive, Bideford
The 2021 census counted 98,611 residents in North Devon across 43,198 households. 68.4% of those households own their home and 31.5% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
15 state and independent schools have a EX39 postcode: 13 primary, 2 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

Within Bideford the street ranks 235 of 636 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £160,000 (+24.3%).

Stanwell Drive, Bideford sits in North Devon, in the South West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in North Devon at 9.2 times median local earnings of £32,199 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Stanwell Drive, Bideford?
The median price paid in Stanwell Drive, Bideford across every sale on the register is £198,950. 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 Stanwell Drive, Bideford?
97 sales are on record for Stanwell Drive, Bideford, the most recent completing on 15 Jul 2025. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

In cash, the median rose +126.9% between 1999 and 2006. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +98.2%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Stanwell Drive, Bideford house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £205,000, set in 2004. 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 Stanwell Drive, Bideford?
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 15 Jul 2025. 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.
