How Bracken Close, Lydney prices moved
The chart tracks the median Bracken Close, Lydney house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1997 to 2006. 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 | £56,500 | £125,457 |
| 2000s | 1 | £167,000 | £304,225 |
The highest yearly median on record for Bracken Close, Lydney is £167,000 in 2006; the lowest is £56,500 in 1997. Across the full 10-year record the cash median has moved from £56,500 to £167,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £119,797, so the real change over the whole record is +148.2% — about +10.63% 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: +195.6% in cash against +148.2% 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. Bracken Close, Lydney 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 | 63 | 85.1% | £178,000 | £55,100 – £407,000 |
| Semi-detached | 9 | 12.2% | £125,000 | £39,000 – £198,500 |
| Terraced | 2 | 2.7% | £177,500 | £177,500 – £250,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Bracken Close, Lydney
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 74 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 | 74 | 100.0% | £173,500 |
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.

The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Forest of Dean at 8.2 times median local earnings of £33,474 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Bracken Close, Lydney?

When were Bracken Close, Lydney house prices at their highest?

£2,311 per square metre, from the 14 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.

The latest sale shown here completed on 1 May 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.
