# Gunnislake Area Summary
Gunnislake is a small Cornish village situated on the River Tamar, marking the border between Cornwall and Devon. The local property market comprises 1,372 properties with an average price of £185,547, though this figure likely reflects a mix of historical and current valuations. The area has experienced notable price volatility over recent years, with average transaction prices showing considerable fluctuation – from £168,788 in 2016 to £347,700 in early 2025.
The market demonstrates a clear upward trajectory, particularly accelerating during and after the pandemic years. Prices surged from £243,347 in 2019 to £298,330 in 2020, with 2022 and 2025 recording the highest average prices at around £347,000. Sales activity peaked during 2020-2021 with over 140 transactions annually, likely driven by increased demand for rural and semi-rural properties. More recent years have seen lower transaction volumes (30-71 sales), which may indicate stabilisation following the post-pandemic boom or reflect reduced housing stock availability in this small village setting. The consistent price growth suggests Gunnislake remains an attractive option for buyers seeking countryside living with reasonable proximity to both Cornish and Devon amenities.
