Ownership and new build in Penny Lea, Watchet
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 15 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.

Within Watchet the street ranks 50 of 89 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £154,000 (-5.2%).
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published here. An estimate would be a guess, and the archive does not publish guesses.
