Something significant is happening on the edge of Long Ashton right now. On a 90-acre site off the A370, construction is actively under way on the Epic Systems European Headquarters. When it opens, it will bring 2,150 high-quality tech and health informatics jobs to the doorstep of one of Bristol’s most sought-after villages.
If you own a home in BS41, this matters enormously. At CJ Hole Long Ashton, we want to give you a clear, honest picture of what this development means for your property’s value – and why 2026 could be the right moment to act.
Understanding the ‘Epic effect’ on Long Ashton house prices
Epic Systems is one of the world’s leading healthcare software companies. Its European headquarters arriving in Long Ashton is not a minor commercial development. It is expected to be one of the most significant economic developments in North Somerset in recent years, with wider economic benefits for the Bristol city region.
The 2,150 roles being created are high-salaried, highly skilled positions. These are professionals who will want to live close to where they work. Long Ashton, with its village character, excellent schools, and easy access into Bristol city centre, is an obvious destination.
More high-earning buyers competing for the same limited stock. That is the simple equation driving Long Ashton house prices in 2026.
What the data already shows us
Long Ashton’s property market was already performing strongly before the Epic campus broke ground. Here is where values stand right now:
According to Rightmove, detached homes in Long Ashton (BS41) have achieved an average sold price of approximately £756,000 over the past 12 months.
This is a village with an 81% owner-occupier rate. Stock levels are notoriously low. When demand increases sharply – as it is doing now – prices respond quickly in a market like this.
Why low stock and high demand is a powerful combination for sellers
Long Ashton has always been a tight market. The village’s character, its green belt setting, and its proximity to the A370 and Bristol Airport corridor make it genuinely desirable. New homes here are rare. That scarcity is your advantage as a seller.
The Epic Systems campus adds a new layer of structured, sustained demand. These are not speculative buyers. These are professionals relocating for confirmed, long-term employment. They have budgets to match their salaries, and they are actively searching for homes in BS41 right now.
At CJ Hole Long Ashton, we are already seeing this shift in enquiry levels. The buyers are here. The question is whether enough homes are available to meet them.
The Centric Parc development and what it means for the wider village
The formerly named Longmoor Village – now known as Centric Parc – is a proposed development on the edge of Long Ashton that includes plans for up to 510 new homes, alongside employment space, community facilities and green infrastructure, subject to the planning process.
Some sellers worry that new-build supply will dampen prices. In reality, the opposite is more likely here. Centric Parc will attract a new wave of residents, increase footfall for local businesses, and raise Long Ashton’s profile further as a place to live. It also signals that planning authorities and investors see long-term confidence in this location.
New supply rarely outruns demand in a village this well-connected and this popular.
The £3 million active travel fund: Infrastructure that cements appeal
Long Ashton is also benefiting from a £3 million active travel investment. Improved cycling and walking routes connect the village more effectively to Bristol and the surrounding area.
Infrastructure investment of this kind does two things. It makes the village more liveable for residents. And it makes it more attractive to the professional buyers arriving on the Epic campus. Buyers in 2026 are not just looking at the property – they are looking at the whole lifestyle package. Long Ashton is delivering that package comprehensively.
The medium-term outlook: What sellers and investors should know
The momentum behind Long Ashton house prices in 2026 is not a short-term spike. The fundamentals point to sustained growth.
Independent forecasts project 3–5% annual capital appreciation in Long Ashton through to 2030. With a current average detached price of £772,586, a 4% annual increase over four years adds over £130,000 to your property’s value. That is a compelling case for both sellers looking to maximise their return and investors seeking reliable, long-term capital growth.
The Epic campus will be operational for decades. The jobs it creates are permanent. The demand it generates for housing in BS41 is not going away.
This is what this means if you are thinking about selling or upsizing
If you have been considering selling your Long Ashton home, the timing is genuinely favourable. Demand is rising. Stock is limited. And a major new employer is actively drawing high-earning buyers to your doorstep.
If you are looking to upsize within Long Ashton, acting sooner rather than later makes sense. As competition for larger detached homes intensifies, the price gap between your current home and your next one is less likely to widen in your favour if you wait.
We understand that selling your home is one of the biggest decisions you will make. At CJ Hole, we have been helping people navigate exactly these decisions since 1867. Our Long Ashton team knows this village personally – the streets, the schools, the neighbours, and the buyers who want to live here.
