What sells here

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Observatory Field, Winscombe
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 57 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 | 57 | 100.0% | £375,000 |
| New build | 27 | 47.4% | £300,000 |
| Existing home | 30 | 52.6% | £413,750 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -27.5%. 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.
Section 09

Within Winscombe the street ranks 31 of 130 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £275,000 (+36.4%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,420 per square metre, across 10 of the 57 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Observatory Field, Winscombe?
The median price paid in Observatory Field, Winscombe across every sale on the register is £375,000. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in Observatory Field, Winscombe?
57 sales are on record for Observatory Field, Winscombe, the most recent completing on 17 Jun 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
When were Observatory Field, Winscombe house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £367,450, set in 2003. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Observatory Field, Winscombe?
£2,420 per square metre, from the 10 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.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 17 Jun 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.
