Chesterton property market: common questions
Where is Chesterton?
Chesterton is in central Cambridge, in Cambridgeshire. Figures for Chesterton cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
What is the average house price in Chesterton?
The median asking price across the 104 homes for sale in Chesterton is £397,500 (as of 5 October 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £277,500 and £556,250. That is 6% below Cambridge. Homes that actually sold in Chesterton went for a median £425,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to February 2026).
Are house prices in Chesterton rising or falling?
Rising over the long run, but falling over the last year. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Chesterton is up 16% over the last 10 years and down 6% over the last 12 months (12 months to February 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.
Is Chesterton cheaper than Cambridge?
Yes: asking prices in Chesterton are typically lower than across Cambridge. The median asking price in Chesterton is £397,500 against £425k across Cambridge: 6% below Cambridge. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. The saving holds from the lower end to the top of the market.

How much do flats and houses cost in Chesterton?
The median asking price for a flat in Chesterton is £265,000. Houses are quoted by type rather than as one figure, because the mix moves the number more than the market does: the largest group on the market is semi-detached houses, at a median £550,000 across 25 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.

How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (104 in Chesterton), refreshed daily, as of 5 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings. Figures for Chesterton cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
- Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked Chesterton since May 2026.
- Cambridge comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Cambridge, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
- Sold figures: HM Land Registry price paid data. Sold prices and sales counts cover the 12 months to February 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to August 2026, with floor areas from EPC certificates (the two run on different pipelines, and the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered). England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
