How detached is Whissendine?
More than any other village in this series. Seven sales were semi-detached and three terraced; there were no flats.
| Type | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 32 | 76% |
| Semi-detached | 7 | 17% |
| Terraced | 3 | 7% |
| All homes | 42 | 100% |
Across Rutland, half of all sales were detached. In Whissendine the share was half as high again.
For a buyer, that means plenty of choice if you want a detached house, and very little if you do not. Three terraced sales in three years is close to none.
What price range does that give?
The middle half of sales fell between £348,000 and £585,000. Sixteen sales reached £500,000 or more; four were under £250,000.
The village median, £449,975, mostly reflects detached homes. A semi-detached house here belongs to a different, much smaller market.
