Now every region has streets of £1m homes

ONCE, streets where the average property cost £ 1million were almost exclusively in London.

But now there are 73 such streets across England and Wales – and every region in England has at least one, a study found.

Andrew Mason of Lloyds Bank, which used Land Registry sales figures to make the findings, said Cheshire, Yorkshire and the Humber, and Sandbanks in Dorset all had clusters of expensive streets.

Grosvenor Crescent in the heart of London’s Belgravia was identified as the country’s most expensive street.

The average price of a property in the road near Hyde Park, Buckingham Palace and the shops of Knightsbridge is £16,918,000. In the north- east the most expensive streets were found in the Newcastle area, mostly in places such as Gosforth and Ponteland. Runnymede Road (£1,111,000) is the most expensive, followed by Montagu Avenue (£1,048,000). In the north-west the majority of million pound streets are in the football stars’ boltholes of Alderley Edge, Altrincham and Knutsford.

Congleton Road in Alderley Edge is the most expensive street with homes selling for £1,985,000 on average.

In Yorkshire and the Humber, the ‘golden triangle’ area between Harrogate, Wetherby and north Leeds had the priciest homes. Fulwith Mill Lane in Harrogate has the most expensive at £1,545,000.

The West Midlands has Roman Road in Sutton Coldfield (£1,481,000) and Widney Manor Road in Solihull (£1,386,000) as its costliest addresses.

Millington Road in Cambridge is the most expensive street in East Anglia at £2,030,000.

In the south-east the priciest addresses are in Weybridge, Oxford and Leatherhead.

East Road in Weybridge is the most expensive street outside London with an average price of £5,053,000.

St Annes Close in Swansea is the only million pound street in Wales with an average property price of £1,029,000.
