The average asking price across this small snapshot stands at £1,662,500, with the two listings priced between £1,650,000 and £1,675,000. Average time on market currently runs at 166 days.

The defining trend in West Runton right now is scarcity of stock paired with rapid uptake. With only 2 properties listed and 1 already SSTC, the SSTC rate of +50.0% is well above what the village’s neighbours are currently recording. Average days on market of 166 days is notably quicker than the Norfolk county figure of 246 days. Set against the six recent Land Registry completions, which range from £171,500 for a flat up to £895,000 for a detached house, the current asking price of £1,662,500 sits well above anything that has actually completed recently, a reflection of the specific two properties on the books rather than a broad repricing of the village.
West Runton currently sits firmly in sellers’ market territory. An SSTC rate of +50.0%, meaning one of the two listed properties has already found a buyer, combined with an average marketing period of 166 days, well below the Norfolk average of 246 days, points to demand outpacing the very limited supply on offer. For a seller, this is a favourable position; for a buyer, it means the single remaining active listing is unlikely to sit unclaimed for long.
Momentum in West Runton currently reads as brisk. Half of the available stock has already moved to SSTC, and the average 166 days on market is considerably shorter than the wider Norfolk figure of 246 days, 80 days fewer. With so few properties on the books, this momentum should be read as a snapshot of a tight market rather than a long running trend, but the direction of travel, fast matching of limited stock, is unambiguous at this point in time.
Sellers currently hold the stronger negotiating position in West Runton. With just 1 property still actively for sale and the other already under offer, a prospective buyer has very little competing stock to choose from, and an SSTC rate of +50.0% suggests demand is being absorbed quickly. Anyone seriously interested in the remaining active listing, priced within the £1,650,000 to £1,675,000 range, should expect limited room to negotiate hard on price and should be prepared to move decisively.
We have watched West Runton shift through quieter spells and sharper ones, and the current picture, just two properties on the books with one already under offer, is as tight as we have tracked it recently. Our team notices that the village’s appeal rarely needs much selling in person; what matters more is being ready to act the moment something genuinely good comes to market, because at this volume there is no queue of similar alternatives to fall back on.
The headline average asking price of £1,662,500 needs some context to be useful. It is drawn from only two current listings, both priced between £1,650,000 and £1,675,000, so it reflects the specific character of those two homes rather than the village as a whole. The six completed Land Registry sales tell a different and more varied story: a flat at Slade Court, Runton House Close sold for £171,500, while five detached houses sold across a much wider span, from £200,000 at 14 Renwick Park West up to £895,000 at Arcadia, Church Lane. The gap between the current asking average and recent completed prices is substantial, and buyers should treat the asking figure as indicative of this particular pair of listings rather than a like-for-like benchmark against what has actually sold.
Buying in West Runton at present means working with very little choice. There are only 2 properties listed, and one of those is already sold subject to contract, leaving a single active listing priced within the £1,650,000 to £1,675,000 bracket. If that property suits, be ready to move quickly and with your finances in order, since the average 166 days on market still allows time to plan a viewing and offer, but the +50.0% SSTC rate shows demand is not sitting idle. If nothing currently listed fits, it is worth keeping an eye on the completed sales history, which includes a far broader mix of flats and detached houses at more varied price points.
Our considered view is that the current West Runton snapshot, two properties, one already under offer, should be read for what it is: a genuinely tight moment in a small village market, not a permanent repricing of the area. The completed Land Registry sales, spanning £171,500 to £895,000 across flats and detached houses, remain the more reliable guide to what the village actually delivers in value terms. Anyone weighing a purchase or a sale here should look at both pictures together rather than anchoring on the current asking average alone.
For an investor looking at West Runton, the current listings offer little by way of volume, just 1 active property alongside 1 already SSTC, both priced above £1,650,000. The more instructive data comes from the six recent Land Registry completions, which show a working range from £171,500 for a flat to £895,000 for a detached house, with five of the six sales being detached properties. Average days on market of 166 days, 80 days faster than the Norfolk county average of 246, suggests that well priced stock here does not linger once listed.
The six recent Land Registry sales in West Runton split 1 Flat to 5 Detached houses, and pricing follows that pattern closely. The single flat sale, at Slade Court, Runton House Close, completed at £171,500, while the detached houses ranged from £200,000 at 14 Renwick Park West up to £895,000 at Arcadia, Church Lane. The two current listings, both priced between £1,650,000 and £1,675,000, sit well above every recent completed sale regardless of type, underlining how small a sample the current asking average represents against the broader type mix the village has actually sold.
West Runton currently has 2 properties listed for sale. Of these, 1 is recorded as sold subject to contract and 1 remains actively on the market. Prices across the two listings sit between £1,650,000 and £1,675,000, giving an average asking price of £1,662,500. With such a small number of live listings, the single active property represents the entirety of current buyer choice in the village at this snapshot.
Recent completed sales recorded by the Land Registry for West Runton specifically include: Flat 4, Slade Court, Runton House Close, a flat sold for £171,500 on 20 July 2026; 14, Renwick Park West, a detached house sold for £200,000 on 1 July 2026; The Old Dairy, 6 Station Road, a detached house sold for £372,000 on 26 May 2026; Orchard House, Church Lane, a detached house sold for £725,000 on 18 May 2026; Arcadia, Church Lane, a detached house sold for £895,000 on 27 April 2026; and Woodcocks, Church Lane, a detached house sold for £735,500 on 27 March 2026. Across these 6 sales, 1 was a flat and 5 were detached houses.
West Runton’s average asking price of £1,662,500 sits £805,947 above the Norfolk county average of £856,553, a premium of 94.1%. The village also moves notably faster than the county as a whole: its average 166 days on market compares with 246 days across Norfolk, 80 days fewer. Taken together, the current figures place West Runton among the higher priced and quicker moving pockets of the county, though this reflects a sample of only two current listings.
Against its nearest neighbours, West Runton stands out clearly on price and on current demand. Beeston Regis has an average price of £445,500, some £1,217,000 below West Runton, with an SSTC rate of +33.0%. East Runton sits lower still at £289,100 average, a difference of £1,373,400, with an SSTC rate of +25.0%. Both neighbours show solid demand, but neither currently matches West Runton’s +50.0% SSTC rate, reflecting the particular tightness of its present stock.
West Runton holds its own stretch of the north Norfolk coast, with direct beach access through the gap in the low cliffs and a quieter, more residential feel than the busier resorts further along. The village is compact, a scatter of flint and brick cottages, a handful of larger detached houses set back from Church Lane, and a station link that keeps it connected without tipping it into a commuter suburb. Life here tends to centre on the beach, the surrounding farmland, and the short run along the coast road rather than any dense high street, which suits buyers looking for genuine coastal character over convenience shopping on the doorstep.
Selling in West Runton at present happens against a backdrop of strong demand relative to supply. With only 2 properties listed and 1 already SSTC, a well presented home entering the market now faces very little direct competition, and the average 166 days on market, well under the Norfolk average of 246 days, suggests buyers are moving with purpose when the right property appears. Sellers should still price with reference to the completed Land Registry sales, which range from £171,500 to £895,000, rather than assuming the current £1,662,500 asking average applies to every type of property in the village.
Selling or buying in a village where only 2 properties are currently listed calls for an agent who tracks both the live market and the completed sales history closely, since the two pictures can look quite different at any given moment. Our team follows West Runton’s Land Registry completions, from the £171,500 flat at Slade Court through to the £895,000 detached house at Arcadia, alongside the handful of current listings, so that pricing advice reflects what has genuinely sold rather than guesswork drawn from a thin sample of asking prices.
The Ivybridge Collection maintains an active local presence covering West Runton and the surrounding north Norfolk coast, drawing on both current listing data and completed Land Registry sales specific to the village. Our familiarity with the area extends from the station end near Renwick Park through to Church Lane, giving us a grounded view of how the two current listings sit alongside the six properties that have actually completed in recent months.
Our professional advice for anyone considering West Runton right now is to separate the current asking average of £1,662,500 from the underlying sales history before forming a view on value. With only 2 properties listed, that average cannot be treated as a reliable benchmark for the village as a whole. Sellers should commission a comparison based on the completed Land Registry sales, from £171,500 to £895,000, and buyers should factor in that the single active listing, priced between £1,650,000 and £1,675,000, sits at the upper end of what the village has recently delivered, with an average marketing period of 166 days suggesting it will not remain unclaimed indefinitely.
The figures in this report reflect West Runton’s property market as recorded on 27 September 2026, covering 2 properties currently listed for sale, of which 1 is sold subject to contract and 1 remains active, and 6 recent completed sales drawn from Land Registry records. County comparison figures are calculated against 341 other areas within Norfolk covered by this report series.

For a wider view of the coast, our market reports for Beeston Regis and East Runton set out the same detail, average price, SSTC rate and days on market, allowing direct comparison with West Runton’s current figures.
