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 Folly Hill, Kingsbridge 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. Folly Hill, Kingsbridge 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 | 44 | 64.7% | £465,000 | £115,000 – £1,800,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 14 | 20.6% | £375,000 | £150,000 – £832,111 |
| Terraced | 8 | 11.8% | £326,000 | £110,000 – £450,000 |
| Semi-detached | 2 | 2.9% | £155,000 | £155,000 – £350,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Folly Hill, Kingsbridge
17 of the sales on record are leasehold and 51 freehold — 25.0% 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.
The median leasehold sale is £375,000 and the median freehold sale £445,000 — a gap of +18.7%. 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 | 17 | 25.0% | £375,000 |
| Freehold | 51 | 75.0% | £445,000 |
| New build | 5 | 7.4% | £307,000 |
| Existing home | 63 | 92.6% | £445,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -31.0%. 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 2 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 Folly Hill, Kingsbridge
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 |
|---|---|---|
| A | 775 | 1.5% |
| B | 6,359 | 12.2% |
| C | 11,843 | 22.7% |
| D | 16,680 | 31.9% |
| E | 10,298 | 19.7% |
| F | 4,645 | 8.9% |
| G | 1,622 | 3.1% |
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 £415,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 2.91% 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 TQ7, 37 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 12 violent, 2 burglary, 0 vehicle-related and 3 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 4.5 times quieter.
Against the 88,627 residents the 2021 census counted in South Hams, that is 0.42 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
The neighbourhood around Folly Hill, Kingsbridge
The 2021 census counted 88,627 residents in South Hams across 39,337 households. 72.1% of those households own their home and 27.9% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
9 state and independent schools have a TQ7 postcode: 8 primary, 1 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

How Folly Hill, Kingsbridge compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Folly Hill, Kingsbridge sits above that national figure — +163.5%.
Within Kingsbridge the street ranks 34 of 315 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £228,000 (+82.0%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £4,364 per square metre, across 4 of the 68 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 £110,000 to £1,800,000. 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.
Folly Hill, Kingsbridge 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.
