What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Shells Lane, Colyton 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flat or maisonette | 5 | 55.6% | £159,000 | £107,000 – £270,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Shells Lane, Colyton
5 of the sales on record are leasehold and 4 freehold — 55.6% 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 £159,000 and the median freehold sale £186,705 — a gap of +17.4%. 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 | 5 | 55.6% | £159,000 |
| Freehold | 4 | 44.4% | £186,705 |
Section 09
How Shells Lane, Colyton compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Shells Lane, Colyton sits above that national figure — +11.1%.
Within Colyton the street ranks 61 of 76 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £245,000 (-28.6%).
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 £107,000 to £358,500. 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.
