The Wrentham market at the time of this report sits around an average price of £341,500, with current comparable listings ranging from £180,000 up to £535,000. Two properties are sold subject to contract out of the twenty comparable listings analysed, an SSTC rate of 10.0%, indicating a market where stock is moving but not at pace. Detached houses make up the largest share of what is currently listed, at 45% (9 of 20 properties), followed by semi-detached houses at 35% (7) and terraced houses at 20% (4). Set against the wider Suffolk county average of £387,472, Wrentham currently prices £45,972 lower, a gap of 11.9%, positioning the village as one of the more accessible options within its immediate coastal hinterland.
Average price across current comparable listings: £341,500. Price range: £180,000 to £535,000. Sold subject to contract: 2 properties, an SSTC rate of 10.0%.
Property type mix (20 comparable listings): Detached House 45% (9 properties), Semi-Detached House 35% (7 properties), Terraced House 20% (4 properties).
Suffolk county average price: £387,472, with an average days on market across the county of 474 days. Wrentham prices sit £45,972 below this county average, a difference of 11.9%.
Nearest comparable areas: Wangford averages £439,490 with a 10.0% SSTC rate, Kessingland averages £209,999 with a 25.0% SSTC rate, and Southwold averages £506,000 with a 5.0% SSTC rate.
The clearest trend in Wrentham’s current data is the spread of days on market across live listings. Wren Gardens went to SSTC after 59 days, while at the other end Chatten Close (NR34 7NX) has recorded 421 days on the market before going SSTC, and a separate Chatten Close listing has sat for 330 days still for sale. This split, between homes that move within a couple of months and others that linger well past a year, is the defining feature of momentum here rather than any single uniform direction.
An SSTC rate of 10.0% across the twenty comparable listings shows transactions continuing steadily but without urgency. The £180,000 to £535,000 price range reflects a market serving a genuinely mixed buyer base, from smaller semi-detached and terraced stock through to larger detached houses on newer developments such as Jubilee Park and Jubilee Way.
With 2 of the 20 comparable listings sold subject to contract, an SSTC rate of 10.0%, Wrentham currently shows more listed stock than agreed sales. That rate matches Wangford’s own 10.0% SSTC rate, sits well below Kessingland’s 25.0%, and is roughly double Southwold’s 5.0%, placing Wrentham in the middle of its immediate comparison set rather than at either extreme. For buyers, this means there is meaningful choice among the twenty comparable listings, including properties that have been on the market well over 100 days, such as Bonsey Gardens at 126 days and Jubilee Park at 102 days. For sellers, it means competitive pricing against that visible stock matters more than it would in a tighter market.
Momentum in Wrentham reads as mixed rather than uniformly fast or slow. Wren Gardens moved to SSTC in 59 days, a pace that compares favourably with the Suffolk county average of 474 days on market. Against that, the Chatten Close property that has gone SSTC took 421 days to get there, and a second Chatten Close listing remains for sale after 330 days. Jubilee Park (102 days) and Jubilee Way (100 days) sit in a middle band, still on the market but nowhere near the extremes.
Taken together, this points to a market where well-positioned properties can move considerably faster than the county norm, while others require patience and, often, a pricing adjustment before they attract an offer.
An SSTC rate of 10.0% gives buyers in Wrentham some room to negotiate, particularly on properties that have already spent considerably longer on the market than the norm. Both Chatten Close listings illustrate this: one has reached 330 days for sale, the other took 421 days to secure its SSTC status. Listings at this end of the timeline typically warrant a more assertive opening offer, especially where the asking price has not moved.
By contrast, a property such as Wren Gardens, which secured SSTC status in 59 days, suggests less scope for a low opening offer where a home is well presented and correctly priced from the outset. Buyers should treat the £180,000 to £535,000 price range as a genuine guide to where realistic negotiation ceilings and floors currently sit in the village.
Working across Wrentham, we see a village where the newer developments off Jubilee Park, Jubilee Way and Wren Gardens sit alongside older streets such as Chatten Close, and the contrast between the two shows up clearly in how quickly homes sell. The newer detached stock tends to attract interest more readily, while some of the older semi-detached homes on Chatten Close have needed considerably longer to find a buyer. Our experience showing buyers around these streets is that the pull of nearby Southwold weighs heavily on decisions, often more than the headline asking price itself.
A useful way to read Wrentham’s current figures is to set the live asking prices against what has actually completed according to Land Registry records. Recent completed sales include 1 Church Corner, Church Street, a detached property that sold for £305,000, and three semi-detached completions at 17 Meadowlands (£265,000), 5 Eagle Court (£220,000) and 30 Chapel Road (£205,000), plus 50 Southwold Road at £247,000. Against that, current detached listings such as Bonsey Gardens (£375,000) and Jubilee Way (£455,000) are asking considerably more than the most recent detached completion, which suggests vendors of larger, newer-build detached stock are testing the market above recent transacted evidence.
The Land Registry data also includes a commercial sale, The Factory Shop on London Road, which completed at £450,000, a reminder that Wrentham’s transaction history is not purely residential. With the current price range spanning £180,000 to £535,000, the village accommodates both this kind of mixed use stock and a genuine spread of house sizes.
Buying in Wrentham at present means weighing up two distinct segments of stock. On one side sit newer detached developments such as Jubilee Park (£495,000, 3 bed) and Jubilee Way (£455,000, 4 bed), both still on the market after over 100 days. On the other are older semi-detached homes like Chatten Close, where one listing at £265,000 has been available for 330 days. Buyers should use recent Land Registry completions, such as the £265,000 achieved at 17 Meadowlands or the £247,000 achieved at 50 Southwold Road, as a genuine anchor point when assessing whether a current asking price is realistic.
With an SSTC rate of 10.0%, there is no shortage of choice among the twenty comparable listings, so buyers can afford to be selective and to factor days on market into any offer discussion, particularly on stock that has been available for several months or longer.
Our considered view of Wrentham is that it remains genuinely affordable relative to its setting, priced £45,972 below the Suffolk county average, a gap of 11.9%, while sitting within easy reach of higher priced neighbours. That combination, modest pricing against a desirable coastal hinterland, is what continues to draw buyers who have been priced out of Southwold itself. The spread between quick moving stock like Wren Gardens and slower moving stock like Chatten Close tells us that presentation and realistic pricing matter more here than broad market sentiment. Vendors who price in line with recent completions tend to do considerably better than those who price against aspiration.
For an investor, Wrentham currently offers an average price of £341,500 across comparable listings, with entry points as low as £180,000 at the bottom of the price range and stock extending to £535,000. The SSTC rate of 10.0% indicates steady rather than rapid absorption of stock, and completed Land Registry sales, including £220,000 at 5 Eagle Court and £205,000 at 30 Chapel Road, show where the more affordable end of the market has actually transacted rather than merely been listed. Rental demand data is not currently available for this report; investors should contact us directly for a fuller assessment before committing to a specific property.
Of the twenty comparable listings analysed, detached houses form the largest group at 45% (9 properties), followed by semi-detached houses at 35% (7 properties) and terraced houses at 20% (4 properties). This mix is visible in the current asking prices themselves: detached listings such as Wren Gardens (£500,000) and Jubilee Park (£495,000) sit at the upper end of the £180,000 to £535,000 range, while the semi-detached Chatten Close listings, at £265,000 and £315,000, anchor the lower to middle end.
Recent Land Registry completions reinforce this pattern, with semi-detached sales at 17 Meadowlands (£265,000), 5 Eagle Court (£220,000), 30 Chapel Road (£205,000) and 50 Southwold Road (£247,000) all completing below the detached sale at 1 Church Corner (£305,000), confirming that property type remains a primary driver of price variation within the village.
At the time of this report, six directly comparable listings illustrate what is currently available in Wrentham. Jubilee Park, Beccles NR34 7FJ, a 3 bed detached house, is for sale at £495,000 after 102 days on the market. Bonsey Gardens, NR34 7LU, a 3 bed detached house, is for sale at £375,000 after 126 days. Jubilee Way, NR34 7FH, a 4 bed detached house, is for sale at £455,000 after 100 days. Wren Gardens, NR34 7FL, a 4 bed detached house asking £500,000, has already gone SSTC after 59 days.
At the more affordable end, Chatten Close, NR34 7NX, a 3 bed semi-detached house at £265,000, remains for sale after 330 days, while a second Chatten Close listing, also NR34 7NX, at £315,000, has gone SSTC after 421 days on the market.
The most recent Land Registry completions recorded for Wrentham are as follows. The Factory Shop, London Road, sold for £450,000 on 2026-05-07. 1 Church Corner, Church Street, a detached property, sold for £305,000 on 2026-04-30. 17 Meadowlands, a semi-detached property, sold for £265,000 on 2026-03-31. 5 Eagle Court, a semi-detached property, sold for £220,000 on 2025-12-19. 30 Chapel Road, a semi-detached property, sold for £205,000 on 2025-12-12. 50 Southwold Road, a semi-detached property, sold for £247,000 on 2025-11-28.
These are completed transactions rather than current asking prices, and they sit noticeably below several of the detached houses presently on the market, which is worth bearing in mind when assessing any current listing against real transacted evidence.
Against the Suffolk county average price of £387,472, Wrentham’s average of £341,500 sits £45,972 lower, a difference of 11.9%. The county’s average days on market stands at 474 days, a figure against which Wrentham’s own listings show real variation, from Wren Gardens’ 59 days to the 421 days recorded on Chatten Close before it went SSTC, and the 330 days a second Chatten Close property has spent for sale. Some Wrentham stock is therefore moving considerably faster than the county norm, while other listings sit closer to, or beyond, it.
Set against its nearest neighbours, Wrentham’s average price of £341,500 is £97,990 below Wangford, which averages £439,490 with a matching SSTC rate of 10.0%. It is £131,501 above Kessingland, where the average price is £209,999 and the SSTC rate runs considerably higher at 25.0%. And it sits £164,500 below Southwold, which averages £506,000 with a lower SSTC rate of 5.0%.
This positions Wrentham as the mid-point of its immediate comparison set on price, while its 10.0% SSTC rate suggests transactional pace broadly in line with Wangford rather than the faster moving Kessingland market or the quieter Southwold market.
Wrentham combines an older village core, reflected in street names like Church Street, Chapel Road and London Road, with newer residential development on roads such as Jubilee Park, Jubilee Way and Wren Gardens. That mix gives the village a genuinely varied housing stock, from the semi-detached terraces around Chatten Close and Meadowlands to substantial modern detached houses on the newer estates. Its position along the Suffolk coastal hinterland puts Southwold within easy reach, while London Road itself, once home to a working factory shop that changed hands as recently as May 2026, points to a village with a working history alongside its residential present.
Selling in Wrentham means pricing against real completed evidence rather than aspiration. Recent Land Registry sales show semi-detached houses completing between £205,000 and £265,000, and the one detached completion on record, 1 Church Corner, achieved £305,000. Several current detached listings are asking considerably more than that, at £375,000 (Bonsey Gardens, 126 days on market), £455,000 (Jubilee Way, 100 days) and £495,000 (Jubilee Park, 102 days), and the gap between those asking prices and recent transacted evidence is worth scrutinising closely before a property goes live. Wren Gardens, asking £500,000, is the exception, having gone SSTC in just 59 days, which suggests that a well presented, correctly priced detached home can still move quickly even well above recent completions.
With an SSTC rate of 10.0% across the twenty comparable listings, sellers should expect genuine competition from other stock in the village, particularly at the detached end of the market.
Selling or buying in a village where completed prices and current asking prices diverge as much as they do in Wrentham calls for an agent who works from the Land Registry evidence rather than headline asking prices alone. We track every comparable listing and every completed sale in the village, from the £205,000 semi-detached completion on Chapel Road through to the £500,000 detached asking price on Wren Gardens, so that pricing advice reflects what has actually happened here rather than what vendors hope will happen.
The Ivybridge Collection maintains an active presence across Wrentham and the surrounding coastal hinterland, tracking every comparable listing and Land Registry completion in the village as part of our wider coverage. As The Ivybridge Collection, we combine that local data with hands-on knowledge of streets like Jubilee Park, Chatten Close and Church Corner, so anyone buying or selling in Wrentham has access to evidence-based guidance grounded in what has actually happened here rather than generalised regional commentary.
Our professional advice to anyone pricing a property in Wrentham is to weight recent Land Registry completions, such as the £305,000 achieved at 1 Church Corner or the £220,000 achieved at 5 Eagle Court, more heavily than the asking prices of comparable properties currently on the market. Asking prices, particularly among the detached stock on Jubilee Park and Jubilee Way, currently run well above the most recent completed detached sale, and a property that sits unsold for over 100 days, as several currently are, is a signal that the asking price and the transacted evidence have diverged.
For sellers, this means setting an initial price with reference to what has completed, not simply what neighbouring vendors are asking. For buyers, it means an offer anchored to recent completions is a defensible starting point in negotiation, particularly on properties that have already spent several months on the market.
This report draws on current comparable listings for Wrentham, completed sales recorded with the Land Registry, and wider Suffolk county market data covering other areas within our coverage. Figures are presented as recorded at the time of this snapshot and should be read alongside individual property specifics rather than as a substitute for a direct valuation.
If you are weighing up a move in Wrentham, whether that means testing what a home like yours on Chatten Close or Jubilee Park might achieve, or working out a realistic offer on a property that has been on the market for some time, we would welcome the conversation. Get in touch with The Ivybridge Collection team for a straightforward, evidence based valuation or a chat about buying in the village.
For direct comparison, our market reports for Wangford, Kessingland and Southwold cover the same period and use the same Land Registry and comparable listings methodology, and are worth reading alongside this one for anyone considering the wider coastal hinterland rather than Wrentham alone.
