Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Bowns Close, Shepton Mallet 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-detached | 27 | 56.3% | £150,500 | £26,220 – £280,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 20 | 41.7% | £84,000 | £28,750 – £125,000 |
| Terraced | 1 | 2.1% | £193,000 | £193,000 – £193,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Bowns Close, Shepton Mallet
20 of the sales on record are leasehold and 28 freehold — 41.7% 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 £84,500 and the median freehold sale £151,500 — a gap of +79.3%. 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 | 20 | 41.7% | £84,500 |
| Freehold | 28 | 58.3% | £151,500 |
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 09
How Bowns Close, Shepton Mallet compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Bowns Close, Shepton Mallet sits below that national figure — -30.9%.
Within Shepton Mallet the street ranks 271 of 301 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £162,000 (-32.8%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,510 per square metre, across 12 of the 48 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 £26,220 to £280,000. 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.
