Sale Values by Bedroom Count — Shawford
| Bedrooms | Avg. Sold Price | 70% Price Range | Data Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 Bed | £346,000 | £250k – £460k | SO21 District |
| 3 Bed | £503,000 | £373k – £750k | SO21 District |
| 4 Bed | £736,000 | £490k – £1.25m | SO21 District |
| 5 Bed | £1,081,000 | £795k – £1.55m | SO21 District |
1-bed data: There were insufficient 1-bed transactions in SO21 to produce a reliable average. 1-bed flats are rare in this predominantly rural, family-home district.
2-bed note: Two very high-value 2-bed detached properties (£1.875m and £2.1m in Compton and Sparsholt) are included – these are exceptional rural properties, not typical 2-bed homes. Excluding these, the typical 2-bed price sits considerably lower than £346,000.
4-bed note: The SO21 4-bed average is significantly skewed by a £8.75m outlier sale (The Dower House, Crawley). Excluding that, the 4-bed average sits closer to £690,000.

I would highly recommend Rowe&Co! From start to finish, Rowe&Co were extremely welcoming, friendly and helped to make the process of buying our first home a positive one. Audrey was super helpful and provided us with weekly progress reports, which we really appreciated! Naturally we wanted to stay in the know as much as possible, so having regular communication put us at ease 🙂 All round, a fantastic estate agent!
From start to finish Rowe & co have provided an excellent experience in selling are property and purchasing our new property through them. We had weekly progression reports from the lovely Audrey who was an absolute gem in getting everything sorted and tied up on her week off!! We can’t thank her enough for her time and effort getting us to exchange stage. I wouldn’t hesitant using Rowe and co again and I would most definitely recommend them. Keep up the good work all 👌
Audrey from Rowe and Co was fantastic. She was an excellent communicator, and helped us to navigate the moving process in the context of a long chain. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her.
Exceptional people and service. Having a slightly niche property and a start to market losing a buyer with a previous agent, the support from both James & Audrey was excellent and invaluable, from securing our offer with our final buyer, to the rollercoaster of process of our tricky chain needed to complete the sale. Having an agent that is on your side, responsive and honest about circumstances throughout makes a massive difference to the overall challenges of a making a house move.
