Brooke’s current market shows 100 properties for sale, of which 52 remain actively marketed and 48 are already sold subject to contract, an SSTC rate of 48.0%. The average asking price across the village stands at £360,500, with individual listings ranging from £165,000 up to £839,000, reflecting a market that spans starter homes through to substantial detached houses.
Average time on market currently runs at 138 days. That figure sits well below the Norfolk county average, and it points to a village where genuinely well-priced homes are still finding buyers at a reasonable pace, even though the current stock of 100 properties equates to 8.3 months of inventory at the prevailing sales rate.

The clearest trend in Brooke at present is the gap between local turnover and the wider county picture. Homes here are taking an average of 138 days to go under offer, some 254 days fewer than the Norfolk average of 392 days, which suggests demand for the right property in this village remains comparatively resilient.
Just under half of all current stock, 48 of 100 listings, has already moved to SSTC, while 52 properties remain actively available. With 8.3 months of inventory on the books, choice for buyers is ample without being excessive, and the £165,000 to £839,000 price range shows a market that is not narrowly confined to a single buyer profile.
With 48 of 100 listed properties under offer, Brooke’s SSTC rate of 48.0% sits in the middle ground between a slow market and a highly competitive one. That is a firmer figure than neighbouring Kirstead, which runs at 25.0%, though it trails Poringland’s 60.0%.
At 8.3 months of inventory, buyers are not short of choice, but the comparatively fast 138 day average time on market indicates sellers pricing realistically are not left waiting indefinitely. On balance, this reads as a genuinely balanced market rather than one tilted decisively toward either side.
Momentum in Brooke is best read through the relationship between stock levels and turnover speed rather than any single headline figure. An average of 138 days on market, against a Norfolk average of 392 days, points to activity that continues at a workable pace locally even while 8.3 months of inventory sits on the market.
The 48.0% SSTC rate confirms that nearly half of current listings are progressing toward a sale rather than sitting static, which is a reasonable indicator of steady, unspectacular demand rather than either an accelerating rush or a stalling market.
For buyers, the 8.3 months of inventory and 52 actively marketed properties mean there is enough choice in Brooke to be selective and to negotiate on homes that have already sat well beyond the 138 day average. The five bedroom detached house in Howe, NR15 1HE, listed at £800,000 and on the market for 214 days, illustrates where there may be room for a considered offer. The two Sewells Lane, Howe listings at £700,000 and £725,000, both at 121 days, are a further reminder that asking prices on comparable properties can vary, useful context when deciding what to offer.
Sellers, meanwhile, can point to the 48.0% SSTC rate and the shorter-than-county time on market as evidence that fairly priced homes are not languishing. The realistic negotiating position for most buyers here sits between the two extremes, offers grounded in comparable evidence rather than either an aggressive lowball or a rushed full-price bid.
We have watched Brooke’s market operate at its own pace for some time, and the pattern that keeps repeating is one of patient, considered buyers rather than impulsive offers. A 138 day average time on market is not slow by any measure against the county backdrop, but it does reward vendors who present their home properly from day one rather than testing the market with an ambitious asking price.
What stands out to us is the spread of buyer interest across the £165,000 to £839,000 range. This is not a village defined by one type of purchaser, and our approach with each instruction reflects that, tailoring marketing to the specific tier of the market a property sits in.
Brooke’s average price of £360,500 sits close to that of Bergh Apton at £386,500, a difference of only £26,000, while Poringland commands a considerably higher average of £447,000. This positions Brooke as a mid-tier market within its immediate cluster of villages, neither the most expensive nor the most accessible.
The 8.3 months of inventory figure, set against a 48.0% SSTC rate, tells a coherent story: supply is comfortable rather than scarce, but demand is sufficient to keep just under half of current stock progressing toward completion. Combined with an average of 138 days on market, well under the Norfolk average of 392 days, the underlying picture is of a market functioning at a genuinely local rhythm rather than one dragged down by the slower county-wide average.
Buying in Brooke currently means choosing from 100 listed properties spanning £165,000 to £839,000, with 52 of those still actively available rather than already under offer. That is a workable amount of choice, though with 48.0% of stock already SSTC, well-presented homes at realistic prices are clearly not sitting unwanted.
Expect an average marketing period of around 138 days for comparable properties, so patience is still part of the process even though it moves faster here than the Norfolk average of 392 days. Detached houses make up 65% of the comparable listings analysed for this report, so buyers wanting a detached property will find the widest selection, while terraced and semi-detached options make up a smaller but still present share of the market.
Our considered view of Brooke is that it rewards buyers and sellers who deal in specifics rather than assumptions. An average price of £360,500 and a price range stretching from £165,000 to £839,000 mean this is not a village that can be summed up with one figure or one type of property.
The 48.0% SSTC rate and 138 day average time on market both point to a market with real, if measured, activity. Compared with Bergh Apton nearby, which sees a similar average price but a slightly lower SSTC rate of 46.0%, Brooke holds its own without needing embellishment.
An investor looking at Brooke is working with an average price of £360,500 across 100 currently listed properties, of which 48 are already SSTC. That 48.0% SSTC rate suggests reasonably consistent transactional activity, supported by an average of 138 days on market, considerably quicker than the Norfolk average of 392 days.
With 8.3 months of inventory currently on the market, supply is not tight, which matters for anyone weighing entry timing. Rental demand data specific to Brooke is not included in this report; investors wanting a fuller yield picture should request tailored figures directly.
Of the 20 comparable listings analysed for this report, Detached House is the dominant type at 65% (13 properties), followed by Terraced House at 20% (4), Semi-Detached House at 10% (2), and Flat at 5% (1). This mix explains much of the £165,000 to £839,000 spread in the overall price range.
Among the current comparable listings, detached properties command the top of the market, such as the five bedroom detached house in Howe, NR15 1HE, listed at £800,000, and two Sewells Lane, Howe detached listings at £700,000 and £725,000. Terraced and semi-detached properties sit at the more accessible end, illustrated by listings on Glenn Road, Poringland at £200,000 for a three bed semi-detached and £230,000 for a three bed terraced house, alongside Mentmore Way, Poringland at £230,000 for a two bed terraced house.
There are 100 properties currently listed across the Brooke market area, with 52 actively for sale and 48 already sold subject to contract. Among the specific comparable listings feeding into this report, A Truly Impressive Home in Howe, NR15 1HE is on the market at £800,000 for a five bed detached house, having sat for 214 days.
Also currently for sale are two detached properties on Sewells Lane, Howe, NR15 1HG, priced at £700,000 and £725,000 respectively, both listed for 121 days, and a three bed terraced house on Glenn Road, Poringland NR14, at £230,000 after 91 days on market. Two comparable listings have already gone SSTC: a three bed semi-detached house on Glenn Road, Poringland at £200,000 after 127 days, and a two bed terraced house on Mentmore Way, Poringland at £230,000 after just 19 days, the fastest-moving listing in the current sample.
Land Registry records for Brooke show six completed sales in the recent period. 10 Kingswood Close sold for £310,000 as a detached house on 2026-06-10, and 59 Burgess Way sold for £322,000, also detached, on 2026-06-05. A terraced house at 41 Burgess Way completed at £310,000 on 2026-06-01.
Earlier completions include 2 The Keys, a detached property that sold for £330,000 on 2025-12-15, 17 Entrance Lane, a terraced house sold for £255,000 on 2025-12-08, and 69 The Street, a detached house that achieved £400,000 on 2025-12-05. These are genuine completed transactions, distinct from the properties currently listed or SSTC discussed elsewhere in this report.
Brooke’s average price of £360,500 sits £17,869 below the Norfolk county average of £378,369, a difference of 4.7%. This makes the village slightly more accessible than the county as a whole while still commanding prices well above its own lower range of £165,000.
The more notable gap is in speed of sale. Brooke’s average of 138 days on market compares to 392 days across Norfolk, a difference of 254 fewer days locally. That gap suggests Brooke transacts considerably faster than the typical area within the county’s 340 area coverage, even while carrying 8.3 months of inventory.
Among Brooke’s nearest neighbours, Kirstead has a higher average price of £432,000, a difference of £71,500 above Brooke, but a lower SSTC rate of 25.0% compared with Brooke’s 48.0%. Bergh Apton is the closest comparator on price at £386,500, only £26,000 above Brooke, with a similar SSTC rate of 46.0%.
Poringland stands apart with the highest average price of £447,000, a difference of £86,500 above Brooke, and the strongest SSTC rate of the group at 60.0%. Taken together, Brooke’s 48.0% SSTC rate and £360,500 average price position it as the most moderately priced of the four, with transactional pace ahead of Kirstead but behind Poringland.
Brooke is a village in South Norfolk, sitting within the same cluster of communities as Poringland, Kirstead and Bergh Apton that make up much of the comparable market referenced in this report. It remains a village rather than a town, with the pull of Norwich close enough for commuting while retaining a distinctly rural pace of life.
Housing here spans a wide range, reflected in a current price range running from £165,000 to £839,000, from more modest homes at the accessible end through to substantial detached houses at the upper tier. That spread means Brooke does not fit neatly into a single buyer profile, and marketing needs to reflect whichever part of that range a property sits within.
Selling in Brooke at present means competing against 100 listed properties, of which 52 are still actively marketed, so a home needs to earn its place among that stock rather than assume automatic interest. The average time to secure a sale currently runs at 138 days, and with 8.3 months of inventory sitting on the market, an overambitious asking price risks a longer wait than that average suggests.
The encouraging counterpoint is the 48.0% SSTC rate, which shows that close to half of current listings are already progressing to sale. Vendors who price against genuine local evidence, rather than aspirational comparisons to villages like Poringland where averages run £86,500 higher, tend to see the faster end of that 138 day figure rather than the slower end.
Selling or buying in Brooke benefits from an agency that understands the village sits between markets, priced below Poringland, close to Bergh Apton, and quicker to transact than Kirstead. That kind of positioning only becomes useful when it is backed by knowledge of the actual comparable listings and completed Land Registry sales, not just headline averages.
We work across this part of South Norfolk regularly enough to know which listings in Howe or Poringland are genuinely comparable to a Brooke property and which are not, and we price accordingly rather than by rule of thumb. That is the level of detail we bring to every instruction in this village.
The Ivybridge Collection is active across this stretch of South Norfolk, covering Brooke alongside Kirstead, Bergh Apton and Poringland, which allows us to draw genuine comparisons between these villages rather than treating each in isolation. For anyone in Brooke considering a move, that regional footprint, part of the wider service offered by The Ivybridge Collection, means local data is always close at hand.
Our familiarity with this area extends to knowing which streets and property types command the £700,000 and above tier seen on Sewells Lane, and which sit at the more modest end of Brooke’s £165,000 to £839,000 range.
Anyone considering a move in Brooke should treat the 138 day average time on market as a guide rather than a guarantee. Individual outcomes vary considerably, as shown by the current comparable sample where one terraced house on Mentmore Way went SSTC in 19 days while a detached property in Howe has remained on the market for 214 days.
For sellers, pricing against recent Land Registry completions such as 69 The Street at £400,000 or 41 Burgess Way at £310,000 gives a more reliable anchor than asking prices alone, since asking prices in the current £165,000 to £839,000 range have not all yet been tested by a completed sale. For buyers, the 8.3 months of inventory currently available means there is room to have a survey and legal checks completed properly rather than rushing a decision under pressure.
This report on Brooke draws on current listing data as of 2026-08-01, covering 100 properties for sale, their SSTC status, and average days on market, alongside a specific sample of 20 comparable listings and six completed Land Registry sales.
