How Woodpecker Mead, Henlow prices moved
The chart tracks the median Woodpecker Mead, Henlow house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2016 to 2019. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2010s | 3 | £439,995 | £620,393 |
The highest yearly median on record for Woodpecker Mead, Henlow is £474,995 in 2016; the lowest is £364,995 in 2018. Across the full 4-year record the cash median has moved from £474,995 to £439,995.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £663,112, so the real change over the whole record is -13.2% — about -4.61% 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.
Section 02
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 Woodpecker Mead, 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. Woodpecker Mead, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 28 | 66.7% | £439,995 | £200,000 – £675,000 |
| Semi-detached | 11 | 26.2% | £304,000 | £145,000 – £364,500 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Woodpecker Mead, Henlow
4 of the sales on record are leasehold and 38 freehold — 9.5% 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 £159,750 and the median freehold sale £384,998 — a gap of +141.0%. 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 | 4 | 9.5% | £159,750 |
| Freehold | 38 | 90.5% | £384,998 |
| New build | 27 | 64.3% | £439,995 |
| Existing home | 15 | 35.7% | £312,000 |
New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +41.0%. 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.
A further 4 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.
Section 09
How Woodpecker Mead, Henlow compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Woodpecker Mead, Henlow sits above that national figure — +141.3%.
Within Henlow the street ranks 32 of 109 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £249,995 (+52.0%).
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 £145,000 to £675,000. 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.
