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 Cobden Road, Hythe 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. Cobden Road, Hythe 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 | 58 | 98.3% | £172,500 | £48,000 – £400,000 |
| Semi-detached | 1 | 1.7% | £195,000 | £195,000 – £195,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Cobden Road, Hythe
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 59 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 | 59 | 100.0% | £172,605 |
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.
Section 07
Living in Cobden Road, Hythe
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Folkestone and Hythe, 43.8% of 63,526 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 5.3% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Folkestone and Hythe at £1,172 a month as of Jun 2026 — £801 for a one-bedroom home and £1,278 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £172,605 here, that rent is a gross yield of 8.15% 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 CT21, 66 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 21 violent, 4 burglary, 3 vehicle-related and 21 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 2.5 times quieter.
Against the 109,758 residents the 2021 census counted in Folkestone and Hythe, that is 0.60 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
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.
Section 08

How Cobden Road, Hythe compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Cobden Road, Hythe sits above that national figure — +9.6%.
Within Hythe the street ranks 200 of 279 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £207,000 (-16.6%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,105 per square metre, across 17 of the 59 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.
The full range on record runs from £48,000 to £400,000. 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.
Cobden Road, Hythe sits in Folkestone and Hythe, in the South East.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Folkestone and Hythe at 8.1 times median local earnings of £38,755 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Cobden Road, Hythe?

How many homes have sold in Cobden Road, Hythe?
59 sales are on record for Cobden Road, Hythe, the most recent completing on 10 Feb 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

In cash, the median rose +272.4% between 1996 and 2014. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +146.2%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Cobden Road, Hythe house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £202,000, set in 2014. 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 Cobden Road, Hythe?
£2,105 per square metre, from the 17 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 10 Feb 2026. 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.
