At the time of this report, Foulsham has 27 homes listed for sale, of which 22 remain actively on the market and 5 are sold subject to contract, giving an SSTC rate of 25.0%. The average asking price across the village is £312,000, though the spread is wide, running from £170,000 up to £1,000,000, reflecting a mix of modest cottages and larger detached houses within the same small settlement.
Average time on market currently stands at 338 days, translating to 11.1 months of inventory at the present sales rate. That is a long selling window in absolute terms, though it is worth noting straight away that it still runs 53 days shorter than the wider Norfolk average, a point explored further in our county comparison below.
Key figures for Foulsham at the time of this report:
Property type mix from the 20 comparable listings analysed: Detached House 45% (9 of 20), Semi-Detached House 40% (8 of 20), Terraced House 15% (3 of 20).
The clearest trend in Foulsham right now is one of pace rather than direction. With 25.0% of current listings under offer, roughly a quarter of homes on the market have found a buyer, while the remaining 22 continue to seek one. Average days on market of 338 days indicates that buyers who do transact are, on average, taking a considerable time to commit, a pattern consistent with a village of this size where the right property does not come up often.
No verified year on year price growth figure is available for Foulsham in this report, so we describe momentum here through transaction pace rather than price movement. At 11.1 months of inventory, supply is comfortably outweighing the current rate of sale, which tends to keep asking prices under scrutiny from buyers rather than driving them upward.
Foulsham currently presents conditions that favour buyers over sellers. An SSTC rate of 25.0% means three quarters of the properties on the market, 22 out of 27, are still actively seeking an offer, and 11.1 months of inventory is a substantial stock overhang relative to the pace at which homes are agreeing sales.
Context from neighbouring villages sharpens this picture. Bawdeswell is selling at a materially faster rate with an SSTC rate of 50.0% despite an almost identical average price, while Hindolveston sits at exactly the same 25.0% SSTC rate as Foulsham, and Guestwick runs slightly ahead at 35.0%. Foulsham is therefore not an outlier locally, but it is the more patient of these four markets.
Momentum in Foulsham reads as steady rather than accelerating or sharply cooling. A quarter of current stock, 5 of 27 properties, has moved to SSTC, which shows the market is functioning, but the 338 day average time on market confirms that sales here take genuine patience rather than happening quickly.
There is no evidence in the current data of a sudden shift in either direction. The 11.1 months of inventory suggests supply has built up gradually rather than through a recent flood of new listings, and the SSTC rate sits mid table against Foulsham’s immediate neighbours rather than at either extreme.
With 22 of the 27 properties currently listed still actively seeking a buyer and 11.1 months of inventory on the books, buyers in Foulsham are working from a position of some leverage. Vendors competing against that volume of unsold stock, and against an average marketing period of 338 days, generally need to be realistic on price to secure interest within a reasonable timeframe.
That said, the 25.0% SSTC rate shows that well priced homes are still finding buyers, so negotiation here works best when grounded in specific comparable evidence, such as the recent Land Registry sales and current asking prices detailed elsewhere in this report, rather than blanket assumptions about how much room there is to negotiate.
We have watched Foulsham’s market move at its own pace for some time, and what stands out is how much the average figures can obscure. A £312,000 average price sits alongside listings as modest as £190,000 for a three bedroom semi on Hindolveston Road and as substantial as £1,000,000 for a six bedroom detached house near Reepham, and both are genuinely part of the same local market.
Our experience on the ground is that Foulsham buyers tend to be committed to the area specifically, rather than shopping across a wider radius, which is part of why homes here can sit for longer before finding the right match rather than simply the first willing buyer.
The £170,000 to £1,000,000 price range in Foulsham is unusually wide for a single village, and it explains a good deal of the headline statistics. An average price of £312,000 sits well below the middle of that range, which tells us the bulk of activity is concentrated in more modest detached and semi-detached stock rather than at the top end represented by outliers such as the £1,000,000 listing near Reepham.
The 338 day average marketing period, combined with 11.1 months of inventory, points to a market where supply has accumulated faster than it is clearing. Yet the 25.0% SSTC rate is not weak, it matches Hindolveston’s rate exactly and trails Bawdeswell’s 50.0% by a wide margin despite Bawdeswell sitting only £1,500 apart on average price, which suggests presentation and pricing precision matter more here than raw market conditions.
Buying in Foulsham means accepting that the right property may take time to appear, and once it does, taking time to assess it properly rather than rushing. With 338 days the average time homes spend on the market, there is rarely urgency forced by competing offers, and 11.1 months of inventory means choice is genuinely available across the 22 properties currently seeking buyers.
Do view the comparable evidence carefully. A three bedroom terraced house on the High Street has been marketed for 317 days at £260,000, while a two bedroom detached cottage with barn, also in the NR20 5RT postcode, has been listed 114 days at £300,000, a reminder that price per bedroom varies significantly with condition, character and plot rather than following a simple formula.
We see Foulsham as a village where patience is rewarded rather than penalised. The 25.0% SSTC rate and 11.1 months of inventory are not signs of a market in trouble, they reflect a small settlement with a genuinely varied housing stock, from £190,000 semis to seven figure detached properties, where buyers take the time to find the specific home that suits them.
For sellers, our view is that realistic pricing from day one matters more here than in faster moving villages nearby such as Bawdeswell, simply because the 338 day average marketing period gives overpriced homes plenty of time to sit visibly unsold.
Foulsham’s average price of £312,000 sits at the lower end of the range across this part of Norfolk, with the price range extending up to £1,000,000 for larger detached property. The SSTC rate of 25.0% and 11.1 months of inventory point to a market with steady but unhurried demand rather than one characterised by rapid turnover.
No verified rental yield data or year on year price growth figure is available for Foulsham in this report, so investors should treat the 338 day average time on market and the current stock of 27 properties as the primary indicators of liquidity here, and factor a longer than average hold or resale period into any acquisition planning.
Across the 20 comparable listings analysed, Detached Houses make up the largest share of Foulsham’s market at 45% (9 properties), followed by Semi-Detached Houses at 40% (8 properties) and Terraced Houses at 15% (3 properties). This detached-heavy mix, combined with a price range stretching to £1,000,000, helps explain why the average price of £312,000 sits below what a simple midpoint of the range would suggest.
Current listings illustrate the spread within each type. Detached stock ranges from a £1,000,000 six bedroom house near Reepham to a £290,000 three bedroom cottage and a £300,000 two bedroom detached cottage with barn, both in NR20 5RT. Semi-detached stock spans from £190,000 for a three bedroom home on Hindolveston Road to £375,000 for a Grade II listed four bedroom semi, currently SSTC. The single terraced comparable, on the High Street, is priced at £260,000.
Of the 27 properties currently listed in Foulsham, the following comparable examples give a sense of what is available today. Near Reepham, NR20 5PR, a six bedroom detached house is on the market at £1,000,000 after 47 days. On Hindolveston Road, NR20 5RX, a three bedroom semi-detached house is priced at £190,000 and has been listed for 179 days. A historic Grade II listed four bedroom semi-detached home in NR20 5RT, priced at £375,000, has already gone to SSTC after 57 days.
Elsewhere, a three bedroom terraced house on the High Street, NR20 5RT, is listed at £260,000 after 317 days on the market, a three bedroom detached cottage in the same postcode is priced at £290,000 after 82 days, and a two bedroom detached cottage with barn, also NR20 5RT, is available at £300,000 after 114 days.
Land Registry records confirm the following completed sales in Foulsham. 15 Claypit Road, a detached house, sold for £425,000 on 21 January 2026. 65 Station Road, a terraced house, sold for £315,000 on 21 November 2025. Little Barn, Manor House Farm, Reepham Road, a detached house, sold for £605,000 on 30 October 2025.
Further completed transactions include 4 Foundry Close, a semi-detached house, which sold for £133,000 on 22 October 2025, 24 High Street, a detached house, which sold for £325,000 on 3 October 2025, and 25 Highfield Close, a semi-detached house, which sold for £238,250 on 8 September 2025. These figures represent completed sales and should be read separately from the current asking prices and SSTC listings detailed elsewhere in this report.
Foulsham’s average price of £312,000 sits £66,513 below the Norfolk county average of £378,513, a discount of 17.6%. This makes the village noticeably more affordable than the county picture as a whole, even accounting for its own £1,000,000 top end listing.
On pace, Foulsham also compares favourably. The village’s average of 338 days on market runs 53 days shorter than the Norfolk average of 391 days, meaning that despite the lengthy 11.1 months of inventory, homes in Foulsham are, on the county’s own terms, moving somewhat more quickly than the typical Norfolk property.
Set against its closest neighbours, Foulsham is the most affordable of the group. Guestwick carries an average price of £387,500, a premium of £75,500 over Foulsham, alongside a stronger SSTC rate of 35.0%. Bawdeswell is priced almost identically to Foulsham at £313,500, just £1,500 apart, yet its SSTC rate of 50.0% is double Foulsham’s, indicating considerably faster moving demand there for a comparable price point. Hindolveston commands the highest average price of the three at £402,500, a premium of £90,500 over Foulsham, but matches Foulsham’s own SSTC rate of 25.0% exactly.
Taken together, this suggests Foulsham’s slower pace is not simply a function of price, since Bawdeswell sells at a similar level far more quickly, but reflects something more specific to Foulsham’s own stock and buyer pool.
Foulsham is a small village in Norfolk, sitting within the NR20 postcode area close to Reepham, as reflected in several of the comparable listings and Land Registry sales referenced throughout this report. It is a settlement defined more by its housing stock than by any single landmark, with prices spanning from £170,000 to £1,000,000 across a mix of terraced, semi-detached and detached homes.
Day to day life here is rural in character, suiting buyers who want genuine countryside living rather than village life with heavy urban conveniences built in. The pace of the local property market, discussed elsewhere in this report, reflects that same character: a settlement where the right property is worth waiting for rather than one where turnover is rapid.
Selling in Foulsham at the moment means competing against 27 other listings, of which 22 are still actively looking for a buyer, so presentation and pricing both need to work harder than they would in a tighter market. The average marketing period of 338 days is a realistic benchmark to plan around, and vendors should expect the process to run over months rather than weeks.
The wide price range across the village, from £170,000 up to £1,000,000, means generic pricing guidance rarely fits. A seller’s best evidence is direct comparison with similar recent completions, such as the £425,000 achieved for the detached house on Claypit Road or the £315,000 achieved for the terraced house on Station Road, rather than the headline village average alone.
Choosing who markets a Foulsham property matters more in a village where 11.1 months of inventory is on the books and homes are averaging 338 days to sell. Generic marketing struggles in these conditions, whereas an agent who genuinely knows the difference between a Grade II listed semi-detached property and a modern detached cottage, and can price accordingly, gives a seller a real advantage.
We track Foulsham’s comparable listings and Land Registry completions closely, from the £1,000,000 detached house near Reepham to the £133,000 completed sale on Foundry Close, so that pricing advice reflects what is actually happening in the village rather than a broad Norfolk average.
The Ivybridge Collection maintains an active watching brief on Foulsham as part of its wider coverage of mid Norfolk villages. We track the village’s current listings, its SSTC activity, and its Land Registry completions on an ongoing basis, which means our valuation advice for Foulsham sellers is grounded in what is actually happening on the ground here rather than a generic county wide assumption.
For anyone considering a move in or out of Foulsham, The Ivybridge Collection is available to talk through the specifics of this village’s market in more detail than a headline average can offer.
Our professional advice for anyone selling in Foulsham is to price against genuine local evidence, not the village average alone. With completed sales ranging from £133,000 for a semi-detached property on Foundry Close to £605,000 for a detached house on Reepham Road, an accurate valuation depends on matching your property closely to comparable size, type and condition rather than anchoring to a single headline figure.
For buyers, we would advise building in time. At 338 days average time on market and 11.1 months of inventory, there is little benefit to rushing a decision, and a measured approach to viewings and negotiation, backed by the specific comparable evidence in this report, tends to produce a better outcome than reacting quickly to the first available listing.
