How Cornerswell Road, Penarth prices moved
The chart tracks the median Cornerswell Road, Penarth house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2022. 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 | £92,475 | £205,338 |
| 2000s | 8 | £210,000 | £382,558 |
| 2010s | 7 | £289,000 | £407,490 |
| 2020s | 2 | £425,000 | £434,239 |
The highest yearly median on record for Cornerswell Road, Penarth is £446,250 in 2021; the lowest is £73,950 in 1995. Across the full 28-year record the cash median has moved from £73,950 to £425,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £164,204, so the real change over the whole record is +199.9% — about +4.15% 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: +70.0% in cash against +28.5% 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.

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 Cornerswell Road, Penarth 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. Cornerswell Road, Penarth 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 | 139 | 75.5% | £243,000 | £52,000 – £635,000 |
| Semi-detached | 22 | 12.0% | £271,000 | £61,000 – £600,000 |
| Detached | 14 | 7.6% | £274,000 | £25,000 – £490,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 9 | 4.9% | £177,000 | £100,000 – £229,250 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Cornerswell Road, Penarth
13 of the sales on record are leasehold and 171 freehold — 7.1% 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 £148,000 and the median freehold sale £249,000 — a gap of +68.2%. 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 | 13 | 7.1% | £148,000 |
| Freehold | 171 | 92.9% | £249,000 |
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.

Living in Cornerswell Road, Penarth
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Vale of Glamorgan, 46.0% of 63,615 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 4.1% 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 Vale of Glamorgan at £985 a month as of Jun 2026 — £729 for a one-bedroom home and £999 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £245,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 4.82% 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 CF64, 107 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 40 violent, 4 burglary, 5 vehicle-related and 10 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.6 times quieter.
Against the 131,939 residents the 2021 census counted in Vale of Glamorgan, that is 0.81 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.

Cornerswell Road, Penarth sits in Vale of Glamorgan, in Wales.
