How Mathesons Gardens, Morpeth prices moved
The chart tracks the median Mathesons Gardens, Morpeth house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2024. 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 | 3 | £58,500 | £129,898 |
| 2000s | 2 | £69,000 | £125,698 |
| 2010s | 5 | £135,000 | £190,350 |
| 2020s | 2 | £160,000 | £163,478 |
The highest yearly median on record for Mathesons Gardens, Morpeth is £180,000 in 2024; the lowest is £55,000 in 1995. Across the full 30-year record the cash median has moved from £55,000 to £180,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £122,126, so the real change over the whole record is +55.1% — about +1.52% 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: +33.3% in cash against -3.8% 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. Mathesons Gardens, Morpeth 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 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Mathesons Gardens, Morpeth
130 of the sales on record are leasehold and 1 freehold — 99.2% 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 £130,250 and the median freehold sale £187,500 — a gap of +44.0%. 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 | 130 | 99.2% | £130,250 |
| Freehold | 1 | 0.8% | £187,500 |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Northumberland at £687 a month as of Jun 2026 — £489 for a one-bedroom home and £757 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £130,500 here, that rent is a gross yield of 6.32% 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 NE61, 76 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 39 violent, 1 burglary, 0 vehicle-related and 9 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 2.2 times quieter.
Against the 320,567 residents the 2021 census counted in Northumberland, that is 0.24 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.

Within Morpeth the street ranks 617 of 961 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £150,000 (-13.0%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,394 per square metre, across 67 of the 131 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

Mathesons Gardens, Morpeth sits in Northumberland, in the North East.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Northumberland at 5.7 times median local earnings of £35,323 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.
