How Hethersett Close, Newmarket prices moved
The chart tracks the median Hethersett Close, Newmarket house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2012. 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 | 4 | £42,375 | £94,093 |
| 2000s | 7 | £115,000 | £209,496 |
| 2010s | 2 | £125,000 | £176,250 |
The highest yearly median on record for Hethersett Close, Newmarket is £135,000 in 2006; the lowest is £33,625 in 1995. Across the full 18-year record the cash median has moved from £33,625 to £125,750.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £74,663, so the real change over the whole record is +151.6% — about +5.58% 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: +46.2% in cash against +13.2% 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. Hethersett Close, Newmarket 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 | 79 | 58.5% | £112,500 | £29,000 – £270,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Hethersett Close, Newmarket
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 135 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 | 135 | 100.0% | £116,500 |
A further 3 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.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across East Cambridgeshire, 47.9% of 44,518 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 5.6% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in East Cambridgeshire at £1,029 a month as of Jun 2026 — £725 for a one-bedroom home and £1,157 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £116,500 here, that rent is a gross yield of 10.60% 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 CB8, 6 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 3 violent, 0 burglary, 1 vehicle-related and 0 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 27.8 times quieter.
Against the 87,762 residents the 2021 census counted in East Cambridgeshire, that is 0.07 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.

The neighbourhood around Hethersett Close, Newmarket
The 2021 census counted 87,762 residents in East Cambridgeshire across 37,202 households. 69.5% of those households own their home and 30.4% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
14 state and independent schools have a CB8 postcode: 13 primary, 1 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

Hethersett Close, Newmarket sits in East Cambridgeshire, in the East of England.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in East Cambridgeshire at 10.0 times median local earnings of £34,117 a year, measured to Sep 2025.

When were Hethersett Close, Newmarket house prices at their highest?

£1,967 per square metre, from the 23 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 23 Mar 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.
