Burgh Castle’s current listings tally at 100 properties, with an average asking price of £200,249 spanning a wide range of £25,000 to £950,000. Of that total, 24 properties are sold subject to contract, an SSTC rate of 24.0%, leaving 76 properties still actively seeking a buyer. Homes here are taking an average of 157 days to find a buyer, and at the present pace of sales the market holds 14.3 months of inventory, a figure that points to a market with plenty of choice for anyone browsing rather than one where stock disappears overnight.
The spread between the cheapest and priciest properties on the market, from £25,000 up to £950,000, tells its own story: this is a village where a modest terrace and a substantial detached home can sit at opposite ends of the price spectrum, and where buyers of very different budgets can all find something worth viewing.

Property type mix among the 20 comparable listings analysed: detached houses account for 90% (18 properties), semi-detached houses account for 10% (2 properties).
Twenty four of the 100 properties currently listed in Burgh Castle are sold subject to contract, an SSTC rate of 24.0%. That leaves 76 still openly on the market, a proportion that indicates steady rather than frenetic turnover.
The average time to secure a buyer stands at 157 days, and with 14.3 months of inventory sitting on the books at the current sales rate, there is no shortage of choice for anyone house hunting in the village.
The comparable listings sample is heavily weighted toward detached houses, at 90% (18 of 20), with semi-detached houses making up the remaining 10% (2 of 20). This detached led mix, combined with a price range stretching from £25,000 to £950,000, reflects a village housing stock running from modest starter homes to substantial family houses within a short distance of each other.
With 76 of the 100 properties currently listed in Burgh Castle still actively seeking a buyer, and 14.3 months of inventory on the books at the present sales rate, conditions here favour buyers rather than sellers. A market where inventory measures well over a year at current absorption gives purchasers time to view widely, compare, and negotiate rather than rushing a decision.
That said, the 24.0% SSTC rate shows genuine transaction activity is happening: nearly a quarter of current stock has already found a buyer, so well priced homes are not simply sitting unsold indefinitely.
Momentum in Burgh Castle currently reads as steady rather than fast moving. An average of 157 days on market means most sellers should expect a patient process measured in months, not weeks, before reaching an offer.
Against that backdrop, 24 of the 100 listed properties have already progressed to sold subject to contract, a 24.0% conversion rate that shows the market continuing to turn over stock at a measured, workable pace rather than stalling completely.
For buyers, the current balance of 76 active listings against 14.3 months of inventory means there is little pressure to accept an asking price without scrutiny. With an average of 157 days needed to secure a sale, sellers who have been on the market for several months are often more open to a considered offer than the headline price suggests.
At the same time, the 24.0% SSTC rate is a reminder that competitively priced properties are still being taken up, so buyers eyeing a well presented home in good condition should not assume unlimited time to deliberate.
Working properties across Burgh Castle day to day, we see the range in this village’s housing stock reflected directly in how quickly individual homes attract interest. Butt Lane’s five bedroom semi detached house came to market at £615,000 and has drawn strong early attention, still on the market after just 10 days, while a six bedroom detached house on Church Road at £900,000 has been listed for 214 days without yet finding a buyer. Price against genuine buyer expectation, not just square footage, is what separates the two outcomes.
Our team’s read on Burgh Castle right now is that patience and pricing discipline both matter more than usual, given 14.3 months of inventory currently sitting on the market.
The 157 day average days on market figure in Burgh Castle sits well below the wider Norfolk average of 392 days, a difference of 235 days. Yet the 14.3 months of inventory figure shows this is still a market with considerably more supply than demand can currently absorb at pace, since that many months of stock would need to sell through at the present rate before the shelves cleared.
The current comparable listings sample illustrates the spread well: Marsh Lane’s three bedroom detached house at £255,000 has been listed for 263 days, while High Road’s four bedroom detached house at £950,000, the top of the current price range, has been on the market for 382 days. Meanwhile Laurel Lodge on High Road, a six bedroom detached house at £600,000, went sold subject to contract after 57 days. The pattern suggests that price positioning relative to what a specific buyer pool in the village will pay matters more than any single benchmark figure.
Buying in Burgh Castle at present means having room to be selective. With 76 properties still actively on the market and 14.3 months of inventory available, there is no need to make a snap decision on the first viewing. Expect a process measured in months: the current average of 157 days on market for the village gives a realistic sense of how long a well matched purchase can take to agree.
Do view the comparables carefully rather than relying on headline price alone. A three bedroom semi detached house on Butt Lane is currently listed at £220,000, while a five bedroom semi on the same road is priced at £615,000, a reminder that street name tells you very little in this village without checking size, plot and condition individually.
Our considered view on Burgh Castle is straightforward: this is a village currently offering buyers genuine choice, evidenced by 76 active listings and 14.3 months of inventory, without being a market in distress. Sellers who price realistically against the 157 day average days on market, rather than against aspiration, are the ones converting to sold subject to contract within a reasonable timeframe.
The wide price range on offer here, from £25,000 to £950,000, means Burgh Castle serves several distinct types of buyer at once, and any strategy for buying or selling here has to account for that rather than treating the village as a single homogeneous market.
An investor looking at Burgh Castle today is looking at an average asking price of £200,249 across a market of 100 currently listed properties, with prices ranging from £25,000 to £950,000. The 14.3 months of inventory figure suggests supply currently outweighs the pace of sales, which is worth factoring into any exit timeline assumption.
Rental demand data specific to Burgh Castle is not included in this report. Investors should treat the 157 day average days on market and the 24.0% SSTC rate as evidence of a functioning but unhurried sales market, and seek local rental comparables separately before modelling yield.
Detached houses dominate the current comparable listings in Burgh Castle, making up 90% (18 of 20) of the sample, with semi-detached houses accounting for the remaining 10% (2 of 20). This detached bias is visible in the current for sale listings, where detached houses span from Marsh Lane’s £255,000 three bedroom home up to High Road’s £950,000 four bedroom property.
Semi-detached houses currently on the market show a similarly wide spread for a smaller category, from a three bedroom house on Butt Lane at £220,000 to a five bedroom house on the same road at £615,000. Across the whole market, the overall price range of £25,000 to £950,000 shows that property type alone does not determine price in this village nearly as much as size, condition and plot.
Burgh Castle currently has 100 properties listed, of which 76 remain actively for sale and 24 are sold subject to contract. Among the current comparable sample: a five bedroom semi detached house on Butt Lane, NR31 9QF, is listed at £615,000 after 10 days on market. A six bedroom detached house on Church Road, NR31 9QG, is priced at £900,000 having been on the market for 214 days. A three bedroom detached house on Marsh Lane, NR31 9QH, is listed at £255,000 after 263 days. Laurel Lodge, High Road, NR31 9QJ, a six bedroom detached house at £600,000, is sold subject to contract after 57 days on market. A four bedroom detached house on High Road, NR31 9QL, tops the current range at £950,000 after 382 days. A three bedroom semi detached house on Butt Lane, NR31 9QD, is listed at £220,000 after 49 days.
Land Registry records show the following completed sales in Burgh Castle: 5 Stepshort, a terraced house, sold for £120,000 on 23 March 2026. 63 Waveney Valley sold for £44,500 on 19 December 2025. 98 Waveney Valley sold for £47,500 on 14 November 2025. 5 High Road, a detached house, sold for £360,000 on 17 October 2025. Hollies Bungalow, High Road, a detached house, sold for £295,000 on 12 September 2025. Wherry 2, Waveney Valley, sold for £72,000 on 8 September 2025.
These completed transactions sit below the current £200,249 average asking price for properties still on the market, and reflect the same wide spread seen in current listings, from lower priced Waveney Valley properties through to detached houses on High Road well into six figures.
Burgh Castle’s average asking price of £200,249 sits £178,595 below the Norfolk county average of £378,844, a difference of 47.1%. Properties here also sell notably faster once a buyer is found: the village’s average of 157 days on market compares with 392 days across Norfolk as a whole, 235 days fewer.
Together these figures suggest Burgh Castle offers more affordable entry points than the county typically commands, while its transaction timelines run considerably quicker than the Norfolk norm despite the 14.3 months of inventory currently on the books locally.
Set against its closest neighbours, Burgh Castle’s average price of £200,249 sits above both Gorleston-on-Sea, where the average is £180,000, a difference of £20,249, and Great Yarmouth, where the average of £111,250 leaves a gap of £88,999. Halvergate, by contrast, commands a higher average of £240,000, £39,751 above Burgh Castle.
SSTC rates tell a similar story of relative position: Burgh Castle’s 24.0% sits above Gorleston-on-Sea’s 15.0% and Great Yarmouth’s 10.0%, but below Halvergate’s 25.0%, placing the village in the middle of this local cluster for how actively its stock is currently converting to sales agreed.
Burgh Castle spreads along the southern bank of the River Waveney where it meets Breydon Water, a setting that gives the village long open views across the marshes rather than the tighter streetscape of a typical Norfolk village. The Roman fort of Gariannonum, now in the care of English Heritage, sits at the eastern edge and remains a working part of daily life here, a place locals walk dogs past rather than a roped off attraction.
Day to day amenities are modest by design: a village shop, a church, a primary school and a well used pub form the core of local life, with Great Yarmouth’s wider shopping, schooling and rail connections a short drive away across the river. That combination, quiet marshland setting with a working town close by, is what draws buyers who want space without cutting themselves off entirely.
Selling in Burgh Castle at present means planning for a process that typically runs into several months rather than weeks. With an average of 157 days on market across the village and 76 properties currently competing for buyer attention, a home that stands out on price and presentation from the outset has a clear advantage over one that simply joins the queue.
The current 14.3 months of inventory means overpricing carries a real cost in Burgh Castle right now, every extra week on the market is a week spent alongside a growing number of alternatives. Sellers who study comparable current listings, such as the gap between Butt Lane’s £220,000 three bedroom semi and its £615,000 five bedroom counterpart on the same road, and price accordingly for their own property’s size and condition, tend to see the quickest results.
Choosing the right agent in Burgh Castle matters more in a market carrying 14.3 months of inventory than it does when stock is scarce, because standing out among 76 active competing listings takes more than a standard listing description. We combine Land Registry sold price data with live comparable analysis of the village’s current market to price and present homes with evidence, not guesswork.
We track individual streets closely enough to know why a Butt Lane semi detached house is drawing interest within its first 10 days on the market while a Church Road detached house has run past 200 days without a sale, and we bring that granular local knowledge to every valuation we prepare for a Burgh Castle seller.
The Ivybridge Collection maintains an active presence across this stretch of Norfolk, and Burgh Castle is a village we track closely rather than visit occasionally. We monitor its 100 current listings, its Land Registry sold prices and its comparable stock street by street, so our valuations here are built on genuine local data rather than a generic regional average.
Our professional advice for anyone buying or selling in Burgh Castle right now is to treat the 157 day average days on market as a planning figure, not a worst case. Build a realistic timeline around it, whether you are a seller setting expectations for viewings or a buyer coordinating a chain, and use the 14.3 months of inventory figure to understand how much genuine competition exists among sellers at any one time.
Sellers should have their property assessed against directly comparable current listings and recent Land Registry sold prices before setting an asking figure, rather than relying on the village average of £200,249 alone, since the £25,000 to £950,000 range shows how much variation exists within Burgh Castle itself. Buyers should factor the 24.0% SSTC rate into their own decision making, well priced and well presented homes are still finding buyers at a steady pace despite the wider inventory overhang. As with any significant financial decision, we recommend independent legal and mortgage advice alongside our market guidance.
