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 Orchard Gate, Blakeney 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. Orchard Gate, Blakeney 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-detached | 8 | 57.1% | £56,500 | £45,950 – £115,000 |
| Detached | 6 | 42.9% | £67,000 | £59,950 – £220,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Orchard Gate, Blakeney
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 14 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 | 14 | 100.0% | £66,750 |
| New build | 7 | 50.0% | £56,500 |
| Existing home | 7 | 50.0% | £90,250 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -37.4%. 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.

Against the median sale of £66,750 here, that rent is a gross yield of 14.81% 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.
No street-level crime was published for GL15 in Jun 2026 by Gloucestershire. Several forces do not supply street-level data to police.uk, so this is a gap in the source rather than a crime-free month — and printing a zero would say something the data does not.
