How Pykes Down, Ivybridge prices moved
The chart tracks the median Pykes Down, Ivybridge house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1997 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 | 2 | £54,250 | £120,461 |
| 2000s | 4 | £107,475 | £195,788 |
| 2010s | 1 | £175,000 | £246,750 |
| 2020s | 1 | £229,000 | £233,978 |
The highest yearly median on record for Pykes Down, Ivybridge is £229,000 in 2020; the lowest is £54,250 in 1998. Across the full 24-year record the cash median has moved from £55,125 to £229,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £116,882, so the real change over the whole record is +153.7% — about +4.13% 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: +22.5% in cash against -10.9% 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. Pykes Down, Ivybridge 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-detached | 64 | 56.1% | £155,000 | £43,000 – £296,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Pykes Down, Ivybridge
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 114 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 | 114 | 100.0% | £161,625 |
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.

Living in Pykes Down, Ivybridge
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across South Hams, 36.3% of 52,222 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 12.0% 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 South Hams at £1,005 a month as of Jun 2026 — £732 for a one-bedroom home and £1,130 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £161,625 here, that rent is a gross yield of 7.46% 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 PL21, 46 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 30 violent, 2 burglary, 1 vehicle-related and 4 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 3.6 times quieter.
Against the 88,627 residents the 2021 census counted in South Hams, that is 0.52 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.

How Pykes Down, Ivybridge compares

Within Ivybridge the street ranks 196 of 322 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £170,000 (-4.9%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,343 per square metre, across 24 of the 114 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 £43,000 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.
Pykes Down, Ivybridge sits in South Hams, in the South West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in South Hams at 11.4 times median local earnings of £32,086 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

When were Pykes Down, Ivybridge house prices at their highest?

£2,343 per square metre, from the 24 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.
