Wenhaston’s current market runs to 144 properties listed, of which just 2 are sold subject to contract and 142 remain actively available to buyers. The average asking price sits at £510,500, spanning a wide range from £270,000 up to £775,000, which reflects a village stock dominated by larger detached houses alongside a handful of smaller semi-detached and terraced homes. Average time on market has reached 761 days, and at the current pace of sales there is 25.0 months of inventory sitting on agents’ books. Taken together, these figures describe a market with considerably more homes for sale than buyers are currently absorbing, a pattern that has direct implications for how vendors should price and how buyers should approach negotiations.
Properties for sale: 144, of which 142 are still actively marketed and 2 are sold subject to contract. SSTC rate: +10.0%. Average asking price: £510,500. Price range: £270,000 to £775,000. Average days on market: 761 days. Months of inventory at current sales rate: 25.0 months. Property type mix (from 20 comparable listings): Detached House 85% (17), Semi-Detached House 10% (2), Terraced House 5% (1).
The defining trend in Wenhaston at present is duration rather than price direction. Average days on market stand at 761, some 288 days longer than the Suffolk county average of 473, and with 25.0 months of inventory outstanding, stock is building faster than it is clearing. Only 2 of the 144 listed properties have moved to sold subject to contract, reflected in the reported SSTC rate of +10.0%. The wide price spread from £270,000 to £775,000 shows a market handling everything from modest terraced houses to substantial six-bedroom detached homes, with the 85% share of detached stock keeping the overall average asking price elevated at £510,500 despite the slow pace of transactions.
With 142 of 144 listed properties still actively seeking a buyer and only 2 under offer, Wenhaston currently sits as a market weighted firmly in buyers’ favour. A 25.0 month supply of inventory, alongside an average of 761 days on market, points to considerably more choice available to purchasers than there is demand to absorb it. Sellers entering this market should expect longer marketing periods and more considered offers than a tighter market would produce, while buyers can afford to be selective across the £270,000 to £775,000 price range currently on offer.
Momentum in Wenhaston reads as subdued rather than accelerating or sharply cooling. Average days on market of 761, against a Suffolk average of 473, indicate properties are taking considerably longer to find a buyer here than across the county generally. With just 2 of 144 listings under offer, the pace at which stock is converting to agreed sales remains slow, and the resulting 25.0 months of inventory suggests this has been a settled rather than a rapidly shifting pattern. There is no evidence in the current figures of a sudden acceleration or a sharp downturn, simply a market that is moving at its own, unhurried rural pace.
Buyers hold the stronger hand in Wenhaston at present. With 142 properties actively for sale against only 2 sold subject to contract, and 25.0 months of inventory outstanding, competition for any individual property is limited. An average of 761 days on market gives buyers room to negotiate on price and terms without the pressure of rival offers that a faster-moving market would create. Vendors realistic about this backdrop, and willing to price within the established £270,000 to £775,000 range rather than at its upper edge, are best placed to secure the modest number of sales currently being achieved.
Working this village consistently, what stands out is how much the asking price landscape and the completed sales landscape have diverged. Wenhaston’s average asking price of £510,500 sits well above recent Land Registry completions here, several of which fell in the £235,000 to £420,000 bracket. That gap matters practically: vendors who anchor to the top of the current price range risk adding months to an already lengthy 761 day average marketing period. Our approach in Wenhaston is to price against what has actually completed locally, not simply against what is currently advertised, which is a distinction that makes a genuine difference to how quickly a property sells here.
A closer look at Wenhaston’s figures reveals a market carrying substantial unsold stock relative to its rate of sale. Of 144 properties listed, only 2 have progressed to sold subject to contract, a conversion rate that, combined with 761 average days on market, produces the 25.0 months of inventory currently reported. The £270,000 to £775,000 price range is wide for a single village, and the comparable listings sample bears this out, from a £500,000 three-bedroom detached house on Chapel Lane to a £775,000 six-bedroom detached property in nearby Holton. With detached houses making up 85% of the comparable sample, the average asking price of £510,500 is heavily influenced by larger family homes rather than reflecting the whole spectrum of stock at once.
Buying in Wenhaston at present means entering a market where time is on your side. With 142 properties actively for sale and an average of 761 days on market, there is little pressure to move at speed, and 25.0 months of inventory gives genuine room to compare options across the £270,000 to £775,000 range. Current examples include a three-bedroom detached house on Chapel Lane at £500,000 after 79 days on the market, and a four-bedroom detached property on Milldown at £650,000 after just 26 days, illustrating how pace varies property to property even within a slow overall market. Buyers who take the time to view thoroughly, negotiate on the back of realistic Land Registry comparables, and are not rushed into a decision are generally well served by conditions here.
Our considered view of Wenhaston is that it remains a village of genuine character being sold, currently, into a market that has more supply than it can easily digest. That is not a reason for pessimism, it is a reason for precision. Vendors who price against actual completed transactions rather than aspirational neighbouring asking prices, and who are patient with a marketing timeline that may run well beyond the county norm, tend to achieve fair outcomes here. For buyers, the same conditions represent an opportunity: a wide choice of stock, from smaller terraced cottages to substantial detached houses, and negotiating room that a tighter market simply would not offer.
For an investor assessing Wenhaston, the headline figures are an average asking price of £510,500 across a £270,000 to £775,000 range, an SSTC rate of +10.0%, and 761 average days on market against 25.0 months of current inventory. These numbers point to a market where stock is plentiful and turnover is slow, conditions that typically favour patient capital over quick turnaround strategies. No rental yield or demand data is included in this report, so any income-focused assessment should be built on separate local lettings research rather than the sales figures presented here.
Detached houses dominate Wenhaston’s current stock, accounting for 85% (17 of 20) of the comparable listings analysed, with semi-detached houses at 10% (2) and terraced houses at 5% (1). This concentration of larger detached properties is a key driver behind the £510,500 average asking price, and it also explains much of the £270,000 to £775,000 spread, since the upper end of that range, such as the £775,000 six-bedroom detached house in Holton, sits far above what the more modest terraced and semi-detached stock typically commands. Buyers looking for smaller property types will find far fewer options in the current mix than those seeking larger detached family homes.
Wenhaston and its immediate surrounds currently have 144 properties listed, with 142 still actively seeking a buyer. Among the comparable stock, a three-bedroom detached house in Blyford is on the market at £600,000 after 95 days, while a four-bedroom detached property on Southwold Road in Blyford, priced at £650,000, has already gone sold subject to contract after 109 days. In Holton, a six-bedroom detached house is listed at £775,000 after 135 days, alongside a five-bedroom semi-detached house also at £775,000 that has attracted interest in just 47 days. Closer to the village centre, a four-bedroom detached house on Milldown is priced at £650,000 after 26 days, and a three-bedroom detached house on Chapel Lane, Wenhaston, is on the market at £500,000 after 79 days.
Land Registry records show six completed sales in Wenhaston in recent months. Jasmine Cottage on The Street, a detached house, sold for £336,000 on 2026-06-12, and Balmaha on St Michaels Way, also detached, completed at £420,000 on 2026-06-10. 1 Marsh View, Hog Lane, a semi-detached house, sold for £272,500 on 2026-05-21. Further back, Wimples East on Blackheath, semi-detached, sold for £235,000 on 2025-11-28, Dreadnought on Back Road, semi-detached, sold for £407,500 on 2025-10-07, and 2 Railway Terrace, a terraced house, sold for £358,000 on 2025-09-18. These completed prices, ranging from £235,000 to £420,000, sit notably below the current average asking price of £510,500, a gap worth weighing carefully when setting expectations for a sale.
Wenhaston’s average asking price of £510,500 is £123,694 higher than the Suffolk county average of £386,806, a premium of 32.0%. Marketing periods tell a similarly pronounced story: properties here spend an average of 761 days on market, 288 days longer than the county average of 473 days. Together these figures suggest a village where the character and scale of the housing stock, dominated by detached homes, commands a real price premium over Suffolk as a whole, but where that premium comes alongside a considerably slower pace of sale than typical county conditions.
Set against its immediate neighbours, Wenhaston is the clear price leader. Blyford, Holton and Holton Hall Park each show an average price of £367,451, meaning Wenhaston sits £143,049 higher across the board. Each of these neighbouring areas also reports a stronger SSTC rate of +15.0%, compared with Wenhaston’s +10.0%, suggesting that stock in these nearby markets is currently converting to agreed sales somewhat more readily than in Wenhaston itself, even while commanding lower average prices.
Wenhaston is a small Suffolk village, and the comparable listings used in this report, drawn from Blyford and Holton nearby and from Halesworth just beyond, give a sense of the wider rural neighbourhood it sits within. The village’s own housing stock is heavily weighted towards larger detached houses, with only a small number of semi-detached and terraced homes coming to market at any one time, pointing to a spread-out, low-density community rather than a compact residential centre. On the evidence of current stock and recent sales, Wenhaston is a village bought into for space and setting: prices here run from £270,000 to £775,000, and the mix of property types reflects a place suited to buyers wanting room to spread out rather than the immediacy of shops and services on the doorstep.
Selling in Wenhaston at present requires a clear-eyed approach to pricing. With 142 properties actively competing for buyer attention and an average marketing period of 761 days, a listing priced against hopeful comparisons with other current asking prices, rather than against what has actually completed, risks sitting unsold for a considerable time. Recent Land Registry sales in the village have ranged from £235,000 to £420,000, well below the current average asking price of £510,500, and vendors who price with that reality in mind, and who prepare for a marketing timeline that reflects the 25.0 months of inventory currently on the market, are far better positioned to achieve a genuine sale.
Choosing the right agent in Wenhaston matters more than usual given how much longer properties here are taking to sell than the Suffolk average. We know this village’s stock in detail, from the larger detached homes that make up 85% of current listings to the smaller semi-detached and terraced properties that occasionally come to market, and we price against completed Land Registry sales rather than optimistic asking prices elsewhere. That grounding in what has genuinely sold, combined with patient, well-targeted marketing suited to a market carrying 25.0 months of inventory, is what makes the difference between a listing that lingers and one that finds a genuine buyer.
The Ivybridge Collection maintains an active presence across this stretch of Suffolk, tracking Wenhaston’s listings, agreed sales and Land Registry completions as part of our ongoing coverage of the area. That continuous local monitoring, rather than a one-off valuation visit, is what allows us to advise vendors and buyers here with genuine confidence in current figures, including the sizeable gap between asking prices and completed sales that this village is currently showing.
Anyone considering a purchase or sale in Wenhaston should treat the gap between asking prices and completed transactions as the central fact to work with. Recent Land Registry sales here, ranging from £235,000 to £420,000, sit meaningfully below the current average asking figure of £510,500, and any offer or listing strategy should be built on that completed evidence rather than on the wider £270,000 to £775,000 asking range alone. Given an average marketing period of 761 days, sellers should budget realistically for time as well as price, and buyers should use that timeframe to negotiate rather than feel pressure to move quickly. As with any significant property decision, independent legal and mortgage advice specific to your circumstances should sit alongside this market data, not replace it.
This report on Wenhaston draws on current listing data as of 1 August 2026, including asking prices, days on market and SSTC status across 144 properties, alongside Land Registry records of completed sales in the village and county-level figures for Suffolk drawn from coverage of 254 other areas. It is intended as a snapshot of conditions at the time of publication rather than a permanent record, and figures should be read alongside more recent data where a specific transaction or valuation decision is being made.
If you are weighing up a move in Wenhaston, whether buying into its current £270,000 to £775,000 range or considering what your own property might realistically achieve against recent completed sales, our team can talk you through the figures behind this report in plain terms. Request a Private Property Brief and we will set out what your Wenhaston property is likely worth today, based on genuine local evidence rather than optimistic asking prices.
For a fuller picture of the wider area, market reports are also available covering Blyford, Holton and Holton Hall Park, each of which currently shows an average price of £367,451 and a stronger SSTC rate of +15.0% than Wenhaston’s own figures. Reading these alongside Wenhaston’s data gives a clearer sense of how this particular village sits within its immediate local market.
