The information on this page is based on a number of underlying datasets, most of which are updated monthly. We maintain an update schedule which explains which version of each dataset we are currently relying on.
THE OLD RECTORY is a very large detached house of 247m², built sometime before 1900, which could now be worth an estimated £946,225. It was last sold for £610,500 in January 2011, which was around 79% above the average January 2011 detached price in the East Devon local authority area. The most recent EPC inspection was June 2026, where the current energy rating was E, and the potential energy rating was C.
Land registry data shows two sales for THE OLD RECTORY since 1st January 1995. The below table shows the price paid for the two sales, along with the average detached price in the East Devon local authority area for the corresponding sale date. Both of the two THE OLD RECTORY sales were for above the average price. The average price is sourced from the Office for National Statistics' House Price Index (HPI).
| Date | Price | HPI Price | Variation from HPI |
|---|---|---|---|
2011 7 JAN | £610,500 | £341,664 | 79% above HPI |
2004 11 OCT | £540,000 | £296,144 | 82% above HPI |
The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Devon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE OLD RECTORY sales from October 2004 and January 2011 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the October 2004 sale was for 82% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 82% above the HPI over time, until the January 2011 sale, where it falls to 79% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 79% above the HPI.

THE OLD RECTORY might now be worth an estimated £946,225.
This is based on house price inflation of 55%, between January 2011 and July 2026, for detached houses, in the East Devon local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
The 55% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for THE OLD RECTORY of £610,500 on 7th January 2011. For the value to have increased from £610,500 to £946,225 over the fourteen years and six months to July 2026, the following assumptions must hold true:
