At the time of this report, Keswick has 333 properties on the market, of which just 3 are sold subject to contract, leaving 330 still actively seeking a buyer. That is a strikingly low proportion under offer, and it sits alongside an average of 254 days on the market and 8.3 months of inventory at the current sales rate. The average asking price across the village is £449,000, with individual listings spanning from £80,000 for a one bedroom flat up to £1,400,000 at the top of the range. Together these figures describe a market with plenty of choice for buyers and where sellers need patience and realistic pricing to move a sale forward.
Keswick market data, snapshot date 1 August 2026:
The clearest trend in Keswick at present is the sheer volume of stock relative to demand: 330 of the 333 listed properties remain actively for sale, with only 3 recorded as sold subject to contract. The SSTC rate has moved by +15.0%, a modest signal that buyer commitment is building, though it has yet to translate into a meaningfully reduced average of 254 days on the market. With 8.3 months of inventory currently available, this points to a market where stock is outpacing the rate of sales, giving buyers time and choice rather than urgency.
With 8.3 months of inventory and only 3 of 333 properties sold subject to contract, Keswick’s conditions currently favour buyers. A market closer to balance would show a far higher share of stock moving to SSTC status; here it stands at a fraction of one percent of total listings, even as the SSTC rate itself shows a +15.0% shift. Combined with an average of 254 days needed to secure a buyer, the evidence points to a market where sellers must compete for attention among 330 active alternatives rather than relying on scarcity.
Momentum in Keswick is best described as tentative rather than decisive. The SSTC rate has risen by 15.0%, suggesting a gradual pickup in buyer commitment, but this has not yet been matched by a shorter time to sale, which still averages 254 days. With 330 properties actively competing for buyers and 8.3 months of inventory on the books, the market is stabilising at a measured pace rather than accelerating or cooling sharply in either direction.
Buyers negotiating in Keswick currently hold the stronger hand. Only 3 of the area’s 333 listed properties have gone under offer, and with 8.3 months of inventory outstanding, sellers are working against a backdrop of considerable competing choice. An average marketing period of 254 days gives buyers room to negotiate on price and terms rather than move quickly, and sellers who price ambitiously against the £449,000 average risk becoming one of the many properties still waiting for an offer.
We have watched Keswick’s market carry a wide spread of stock for some time, from one bedroom flats around Keswick Hall priced from £80,000 through to detached houses commanding £1,400,000 at the top end. What our team notices on the ground is that the properties within the Keswick Hall complex, the flats and terraced houses, tend to move at a very different pace to the detached family homes on roads like Low Road and Fir Hill. Anyone assessing Keswick purely on its £449,000 average risks missing that this figure sits across two genuinely different sub-markets under one village name.
Look beneath the headline average of £449,000 and Keswick’s market splits fairly clearly along property type lines. Of the 20 comparable listings analysed, 60% (12) are detached houses, which is likely to be pulling the average toward the upper end of the £80,000 to £1,400,000 range, while flats make up 25% (5) of the mix and terraced and semi-detached houses account for the remainder. With 330 of 333 properties still actively marketed and only 3 under offer, absorption is slow across the board, reflected in the 254 day average and 8.3 months of inventory. The +15.0% movement in the SSTC rate is worth watching over coming reports, as it may indicate the early stages of that stock beginning to clear.
Buying in Keswick right now means entering a market with genuine room to negotiate. With 330 properties still actively for sale against just 3 sold subject to contract, there is no shortage of options, whether you are looking at a one bedroom flat inside the Keswick Hall complex or a detached house further into the village. Expect a longer process than in a fast moving market: the average time to sell currently stands at 254 days, so vendors are generally not expecting an offer within days of listing. Use that time to your advantage, inspect properties thoroughly, and factor in that with 8.3 months of inventory on the books, there is little pressure to compete aggressively against other buyers for most listings.
Our considered view is that Keswick remains a market for patient buyers and realistic sellers. The spread from £80,000 to £1,400,000 tells you this is not a uniform village market but one built from genuinely different property types, the flats and terraced homes around Keswick Hall at one end and larger detached houses at the other. With 330 properties still seeking buyers and an average marketing period of 254 days, we would encourage any seller to price against comparable evidence from the outset rather than testing the market, because in a village carrying this much stock, an overpriced listing tends to simply add to the 8.3 months of inventory rather than attract early interest.
For an investor, Keswick currently presents an average price of £449,000 against a backdrop of 8.3 months of inventory and 254 days average time to sell, both of which point to a market where stock takes time to absorb rather than one moving at pace. The SSTC rate has shifted by +15.0%, a modest indicator worth monitoring for signs of tightening demand. We do not currently hold verified rental yield data for Keswick and would rather say so plainly than estimate a figure; any investor considering the area should treat rental demand as an open question to research directly rather than assume from these sales figures alone.
Property type has a clear bearing on where a Keswick listing is likely to sit within the £80,000 to £1,400,000 range. Detached houses make up 60% (12) of the 20 comparable listings analysed, the largest single category, and are likely responsible for pulling the £449,000 average toward the higher end of the scale. Flats account for 25% (5) of listings, largely clustered around developments such as Keswick Hall, Quintin Gurney House and Gerard Hudson Gardens, where asking prices in the current listings run from £80,000 to £160,000. Terraced houses make up 10% (2) and semi-detached houses just 5% (1), meaning most of the mid-range choice in the village currently comes from these smaller categories rather than dominating the overall average.
Six comparable listings currently illustrate the spread of what is available in Keswick. Keswick Hall, Keswick, Norwich, NR4 6RP is a one bedroom flat at £95,000 and has been on the market for 19 days. Quintin Gurney House, Keswick Hall NR4, NR4 6RP is also a one bedroom flat, priced at £160,000 after 534 days on the market. Bishop Pelham Court, Keswick Hall, Norwich, Norfolk, NR4, NR4 6RS offers a one bedroom terraced house at £170,000, listed for 36 days, while a one bedroom flat at the same development, Bishop Pelham Court, Norwich NR4, NR4 6RS, is priced at £80,000 after 365 days on the market. Gerard Hudson Gardens, Keswick Hall NR4, NR4 6RT includes a one bedroom flat at £120,000 after 355 days, and a two bedroom flat at the same address, Gerard Hudson Gardens, Norwich NR4, NR4 6RT, is listed at £80,000 having spent 289 days on the market. The wide range in days on market within this small sample, from 19 days to 534 days, underlines how unevenly demand is spread even within a single development.
Land Registry records show six completed sales in Keswick. Flat 10, Quintin Gurney House, Keswick Hall sold for £132,000 on 12 December 2025, and Flat 20 at the same address sold for £130,000 on 17 July 2025, both broadly in line with current flat asking prices in that development. On the house side, 6 Fir Hill sold for £500,000 on 7 November 2025, 43 Low Road sold for £279,500 on 31 October 2025, 25 Low Road sold for £430,000 on 29 August 2025, and Honeysuckle Cottage, Low Road achieved £677,500 on 18 July 2025 as a detached property. These completed transactions show a far wider spread of achieved prices than the flats alone, consistent with the mixed nature of the village’s housing stock.
Keswick’s average price of £449,000 sits £70,892 above the Norfolk county average of £378,108, a premium of 18.7%. Properties here also sell faster than the county as a whole: the average of 254 days on the market compares with 392 days across Norfolk, a difference of 138 fewer days. Taken together, Keswick commands a clear price premium over the wider county while still moving through its own stock more quickly than the Norfolk average, even though 8.3 months of inventory shows there remains plenty of choice for buyers within the village itself.
Set against its closest neighbours, Keswick’s average price of £449,000 places it below Intwood, where the average price of £461,000 runs £12,000 higher and the SSTC rate stands at +55.0%, well ahead of Keswick’s own +15.0%. Cringleford sits closer still, with an average price of £440,500, just £8,500 below Keswick, and an SSTC rate of +40.0%. Little Melton is the more affordable of the three, averaging £373,000, some £76,000 below Keswick, with an SSTC rate of +20.0%. The pattern across all three neighbouring areas is the same: each is showing a stronger SSTC rate than Keswick’s current +15.0%, suggesting Keswick’s stock is clearing somewhat more slowly than the immediate surrounding market.
Keswick is a small Norfolk village on the southern edge of Norwich, best known locally for the Keswick Hall estate, the former hall and grounds now home to a cluster of flats and converted properties including Quintin Gurney House, Bishop Pelham Court and Gerard Hudson Gardens, alongside more traditional houses along roads such as Low Road and Fir Hill. Its position close to the University of East Anglia and the southern Norwich bypass makes it a practical choice for those wanting easy access into the city without living within it, while retaining a genuinely village feel away from the main roads. The housing stock reflects this dual character: compact flats within the Hall’s converted buildings sit alongside larger detached and semi-detached family houses, which is exactly why prices in the village span from £80,000 to £1,400,000 rather than clustering around a single type of home.
Selling in Keswick at present means entering a market carrying 330 active listings against only 3 sold subject to contract, so a new instruction needs to stand out from the outset rather than rely on general demand. With the average time to sell currently running at 254 days, and 8.3 months of inventory still on the books, an unrealistic asking price is likely to simply add to that total rather than attract early offers. Given the genuine spread of property types on the market, from flats around Keswick Hall to detached houses elsewhere in the village, pricing needs to be benchmarked against the right comparable, not against the £449,000 village average as a whole.
Keswick’s market mixes converted flats, terraced houses and detached family homes within a single small village, which means generic pricing advice based on a single average figure can mislead a seller badly. At The Ivybridge Collection, our approach is to price against the specific development or road a property sits on, whether that is a Keswick Hall flat, a Low Road detached house, or a property on Fir Hill, using the actual comparable evidence available rather than the village wide average of £449,000. With 330 properties currently competing for buyer attention, that level of specificity is what separates a listing that moves within a reasonable period from one that quietly joins the 8.3 months of standing inventory.
The Ivybridge Collection works across this part of south Norwich, and Keswick is a village we track closely given the concentration of activity around the Keswick Hall estate as well as the detached houses further into the village. Our familiarity with individual developments, from Bishop Pelham Court to the properties along Low Road, means we can speak to the specifics of a listing rather than only the village average. If you are considering a move in Keswick, our local team is a genuine point of contact rather than a distant call centre.
Anyone pricing a property in Keswick should treat the £449,000 average as a starting reference point only, not a target figure, given that recorded prices in the village span from £80,000 to £1,400,000 across genuinely different property types. With 8.3 months of inventory currently on the market and an average of 254 days to secure a buyer, we would advise any seller to commission a proper comparable assessment against recent Land Registry sales, such as the £430,000 achieved at 25 Low Road or the £132,000 achieved at Flat 10, Quintin Gurney House, rather than relying on asking prices of similar current listings alone, since asking price and achieved price can diverge significantly in a market carrying this much stock. Buyers, meanwhile, should factor the 254 day average into their own timeline expectations and use the level of current choice, 330 active listings, as genuine negotiating leverage rather than assuming they must match the asking price to secure a property.

For a wider view of this part of south Norwich, our market reports for Intwood, Cringleford and Little Melton set out how each of those villages compares on price, SSTC rate and days on market, and are worth reading alongside this Keswick report for anyone considering the wider area rather than one village in isolation.
