How Orchard Way, Henlow prices moved
The chart tracks the median Orchard Way, Henlow house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2005 to 2013. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000s | 2 | £228,995 | £417,161 |
| 2010s | 2 | £232,500 | £327,825 |
The highest yearly median on record for Orchard Way, Henlow is £244,498 in 2005; the lowest is £228,995 in 2006. Across the full 9-year record the cash median has moved from £244,498 to £240,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £445,402, so the real change over the whole record is -21.4% — about -2.97% 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: -1.8% in cash against -21.4% 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 Orchard Way, Henlow 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 Way, Henlow 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 39 | 43.8% | £240,000 | £221,995 – £370,000 |
| Detached | 36 | 40.4% | £317,995 | £98,950 – £625,000 |
| Semi-detached | 13 | 14.6% | £229,995 | £85,000 – £435,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 1 | 1.1% | £77,500 | £77,500 – £77,500 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Orchard Way, Henlow
3 of the sales on record are leasehold and 86 freehold — 3.4% 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 £85,000 and the median freehold sale £249,973 — a gap of +194.1%. 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 | 3 | 3.4% | £85,000 |
| Freehold | 86 | 96.6% | £249,973 |
| New build | 27 | 30.3% | £228,995 |
| Existing home | 62 | 69.7% | £258,500 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -11.4%. 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.
Section 09
How Orchard Way, Henlow compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Orchard Way, Henlow sits above that national figure — +58.1%.
Within Henlow the street ranks 69 of 109 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £249,995 (-0.4%).
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 £77,500 to £625,000. 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.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Orchard Way, Henlow?
The median price paid in Orchard Way, Henlow across every sale on the register is £249,000. 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 Orchard Way, Henlow?
89 sales are on record for Orchard Way, Henlow, the most recent completing on 12 Apr 2024. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Orchard Way, Henlow house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose -1.8% between 2005 and 2013. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is -21.4%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Orchard Way, Henlow house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £244,498, set in 2005. 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 Orchard Way, Henlow?
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 12 Apr 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.
