How Barton Road, Burnham-on-sea prices moved
The chart tracks the median Barton Road, Burnham-on-sea house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1996 to 2020. 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 | 3 | £61,000 | £135,449 |
| 2020s | 1 | £270,000 | £275,870 |
The highest yearly median on record for Barton Road, Burnham-on-sea is £270,000 in 2020; the lowest is £47,500 in 1996. Across the full 25-year record the cash median has moved from £47,500 to £270,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £103,038, so the real change over the whole record is +239.3% — about +5.22% 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: +235.4% in cash against +113.1% 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.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Barton Road, Burnham-on-sea 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 | 35 | 49.3% | £225,000 | £63,000 – £470,000 |
| Semi-detached | 30 | 42.3% | £86,000 | £42,000 – £310,000 |
| Terraced | 4 | 5.6% | £163,500 | £31,000 – £270,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 2 | 2.8% | £100,000 | £100,000 – £100,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Barton Road, Burnham-on-sea
2 of the sales on record are leasehold and 69 freehold — 2.8% 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 £100,000 and the median freehold sale £170,000 — a gap of +70.0%. 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 | 2 | 2.8% | £100,000 |
| Freehold | 69 | 97.2% | £170,000 |
A further 1 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 Barton Road, Burnham-on-sea
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Somerset, 45.0% of 296,416 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 7.1% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |

| A | 2,239 | 0.8% |
| B | 39,014 | 13.2% |
| C | 92,251 | 31.1% |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Somerset at £1,000 a month as of Jun 2026 — £680 for a one-bedroom home and £1,117 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £170,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 7.06% 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 TA8, 83 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 37 violent, 4 burglary, 6 vehicle-related and 22 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 2.0 times quieter.
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.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Barton Road, Burnham-on-sea?
The median price paid in Barton Road, Burnham-on-sea across every sale on the register is £170,000. 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 Barton Road, Burnham-on-sea?
71 sales are on record for Barton Road, Burnham-on-sea, the most recent completing on 27 Mar 2024. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Barton Road, Burnham-on-sea house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +235.4% between 1999 and 2020. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +113.1%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Barton Road, Burnham-on-sea house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £270,000, set in 2020. 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 Barton Road, Burnham-on-sea?
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 27 Mar 2024. 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.
