Dronfield property market: common questions

Where is Dronfield?

Dronfield sits on the edge of Derbyshire. Figures for Dronfield cover listings within about 2.0 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.

What is the average house price in Dronfield?

The median asking price across the 90 homes for sale in Dronfield is £325,000 (as of 4 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 £260,000 and £436,250. That is 30% above Derbyshire. Homes that actually sold in Dronfield went for a median £290,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).

These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.

Is Dronfield cheaper than Derbyshire?

No: asking prices in Dronfield are typically higher than across Derbyshire. The median asking price in Dronfield is £325,000 against £250k across Derbyshire: 30% above Derbyshire.

How these numbers are made

  • Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (90 in Dronfield), refreshed daily, as of 4 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings. Figures for Dronfield cover listings within about 2.0 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 Dronfield since May 2026.
  • Derbyshire comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Derbyshire, 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 January 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to July 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.
