What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Old Wells Road, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 20 | 43.5% | £295,000 | £56,950 – £520,000 |
| Semi-detached | 13 | 28.3% | £129,000 | £60,000 – £270,000 |
| Terraced | 12 | 26.1% | £124,000 | £30,000 – £342,935 |
| Flat or maisonette | 1 | 2.2% | £317,500 | £317,500 – £317,500 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Old Wells Road, Shepton Mallet
2 of the sales on record are leasehold and 44 freehold — 4.3% 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 £167,750 and the median freehold sale £204,975 — a gap of +22.2%. 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 | 2 | 4.3% | £167,750 |
| Freehold | 44 | 95.7% | £204,975 |
| New build | 1 | 2.2% | £30,000 |
| Existing home | 45 | 97.8% | £219,950 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -86.4%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.
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.
Section 09
How Old Wells Road, Shepton Mallet compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Old Wells Road, Shepton Mallet sits above that national figure — +30.1%.
Within Shepton Mallet the street ranks 110 of 301 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £162,000 (+26.5%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,661 per square metre, across 12 of the 46 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 £30,000 to £520,000. 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.
