£225,000 was the middle price of the 227 Bodmin homes sold in 2025; that's up 5% on 2024's £215,000.

Historic England lists 111 buildings in and around Bodmin, including Church Of St Petroc (Grade I); Duke Of Cornwall'S Light Infantry War Memorial (Grade II*); Former St Lawrence'S Hospital (Grade II*).
