<\/p>\nBritons are notoriously houseproud. However, many are even prouder of the neighbourhood in which they live \u2014 hence, the philosophy of many-a-buyer to purchase the worst home on the best street.<\/p>\n
As a result, the location of the most exclusive streets in our neighbourhoods has long been a hotly disputed dinner party argument. <\/p>\n
Now, The Times has the answer for you, whichever region of Britain you live in, with the help of data analysts from Rightmove.<\/p>\n
To be considered for inclusion as the most expensive in any region, a street must have at least five properties advertised for sale \u2014 a measure designed to exclude those neighbourhoods that are inactive in the property market or may not have many residential properties.<\/p>\n
Of course, sorted by price alone, London dominates the national list with 18 out of the top 20 streets. We\u2019ve put that list at the bottom of the story, for reference. But to be representative of the country as a whole, our main list chronicles the priciest street in each individual region. <\/p>\n
London<\/b><\/p>\n
Most expensive street: Winnington Road, Hampstead\/East Finchley, N2 <\/b>
Average house price: \u00a311,906,522<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A mansion on Winnington Road, north London, is on sale for \u00a324.95 million with Beauchamp Estates<\/p>\n
Winnington Road\u2019s position at the top of the list is a reflection both of the unique attributes of this posh north London boulevard \u2014 which sits on the edge of Hampstead village, Hampstead Garden Suburb and East Finchley, but not truly in any of them \u2014 and the moribund market last year in the \u201ctraditional\u201d super-rich hotspots of Belgravia and Knightsbridge, thanks to tax policies putting off super-rich international buyers. <\/p>\n
This is a north London suburban street for the very wealthy: it is a few yards away from the Bishops Avenue but \u2014 unlike so-called \u201cbillionaires\u2019 row\u201d \u2014 it doesn\u2019t contain flats, care homes and building sites. Instead it comprises very expensive properties owned by families who mostly live there permanently.<\/p>\n
An illustration of what\u2019s around can be found in a four-storey detached, gated 16,749 sq ft home with mock Roman pillars, 14m swimming pool, a spa with steam room, a gym and a six-car garage, which is on the market with Beauchamp Estates<\/a> for \u00a324.95 million. Another, with eight bedrooms at 10,086 sq ft, is on the market with Savills for a mere \u00a315.5 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2022 The Bishops Avenue: from billionaires\u2019 row to care home centra<\/b>l<\/a><\/p>\n East Midlands<\/b><\/p>\n Burley Lane, Derby, DE22<\/b> Recently sold by Fine & Country, this six-bedroom house just off Burley Lane fetched \u00a32.75 million<\/p>\n Burley Lane is in the upmarket village of Quarndon, three miles north of Derby. With proximity to desirable schools, a golf course, cricket club and local walks and splendid detached homes, it\u2019s a road where several captains of industry live, as well as a smattering of footballers. <\/p>\n Greg Perrins, associate partner at Fine & Country in Derbyshire, says: \u201cOffering an abundance of properties ranging from individual architect-designed properties, boutique gated developments and period properties, Burley Lane has properties for all tastes and is a popular choice for those looking for a large exclusive home. Its popularity is also reflective of its ability to command high prices, with the price per sq ft achieving in some cases 50 per cent above the average price per sq ft in Derbyshire for similar properties.\u201d<\/p>\n One three-bedroom newly converted property, recently sold for \u00a31 million with Fine & Country<\/a>, is the ultimate party pad, with home cinema roowm, bar area, hot tub, and full external CCTV coverage. <\/p>\n East of England<\/b><\/p>\n Loom Lane, Radlett, Hertfordshire, WD7<\/b> This 8,000 sq ft house on Loom Lane in Radlett is on sale for \u00a37.95 million with Hamptons<\/p>\n Situated near Watford and St Albans, Radlett was until 30 years ago a homely outer suburb in south Hertfordshire, but parts of it have subsequently undergone a staggering chichi conversion to prime footballer belt and the village is now filled with bougie delis and bakeries, grand houses and expensive boutiques.<\/p>\n Loom Lane, among several other roads, features bling-tastic gated new-build mansions which some residents feel are garish and out-of-kilter when compared to some of the old-fashioned original Victorian-era farmhouses down the road. One typical example, an 8,000 sq ft gated smart home on the market with Hamptons for \u00a37.95 million<\/a>, has an indoor pool, cinema room, gym, games room, and separate staff accommodation. The area is close to numerous desirable private schools, including Aldenham and Haberdashers\u2019.<\/p>\n Northeast<\/b><\/p>\n Runnymede Road, Ponteland, NE20<\/b> This five-bedroom house on Runnymede Road in Ponteland is on sale for \u00a32 million with Sanderson Young<\/p>\n LAWRENSON & GREBBY PHOTOGRAPHY<\/p>\n Ponteland, a village about eight miles from Newcastle city centre, was recently revealed in The Sunday Times to be the northeast\u2019s supercar capital (131 luxury cars for every 1,000 house sales) \u2014 and so it\u2019s little surprise it appears again here with the region\u2019s premier street, Runnymede Road. <\/p>\n Amy Holford, of Finest Properties, which covers the area, says: \u201cRunnymede Road is in the very popular area of Ponteland. A lot of footballers live around there, in Darras Hall. There are good schools, shops, leisure centre, caf\u00e9s, restaurants, and walks, and it\u2019s outside of but close to town, so has a rural feel without feeling totally disconnected. <\/p>\n \u201cNewcastle airport is only a few minutes in the car too. The estates are very leafy and quiet. It\u2019s a good move for anyone who wants to be close to the city without being in it.\u201d <\/p>\n Northwest<\/b><\/p>\n Macclesfield Road, Alderley Edge, SK9 <\/b> A five-bedroom home in Prestbury, Cheshire \u2014 a ten-minute drive from Alderley Edge \u2014 is available for \u00a33.25 million with Jackson-Stops<\/p>\n ALEX REAY<\/p>\n Alderley Edge, prime footballer belt, has been nicknamed the \u201cKnightsbridge of the north\u201d with a reputation for fine dining, bling and supercars in its position in Cheshire\u2019s golden triangle of wealth.<\/p>\n Famous residents over the years included the Beckhams, Cristiano Ronaldo and, currently, the Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland, while Coleen Rooney can regularly be found out shopping. The stream of Lamborghinis and Ferraris here has prompted a regular following on social media.<\/p>\n Macclesfield Road is one of the village\u2019s most coveted locations, with mansions galore. Typical of the fare on offer is a six-bedroom, ten-bathroom mock manor house with a lift, leisure suite, and four-car garage, on the market for \u00a312.5 million with Jackson-Stops<\/a>.<\/p>\n Scotland<\/b><\/p>\n Manor Place, Edinburgh, EH3<\/b> A two-bedroom flat on Manor Place in Edinburgh is on the market for offers over \u00a3750,000 with Knight Frank<\/p>\n Manor Place is a classical terrace in the heart of the West End of the city, containing several townhouses in the shadow of St Mary\u2019s Cathedral. It was designed in 1814 and then built between 1824-1825 by Robert Brown on land owned by Sir Patrick Walker. <\/p>\n The West End is one of Edinburgh\u2019s most sought-after residential areas. It is characterised by its beautiful Georgian and Victorian terraces, wide streets and well-kept communal gardens. <\/p>\n Excellent shopping is located in the city centre, just a five-minute walk away. There are also smaller independent shops, boutiques, caf\u00e9s, and delis on William Street, a short stroll away.<\/p>\n David Law, head of Strutt & Parker in Edinburgh, says: \u201cManor Place is known for its prime location close to the busy city centre. Dotted with pretty Georgian townhouses, it stands out from its neighbouring streets where many buildings remain in commercial use. Over the years, we\u2019ve seen buildings here be converted back into full residential properties. Many apartments have attractive views onto the cathedral.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe buyers we see here can be a real mix. Wealthy families are drawn to the grander townhouses for their space and character, while young professionals snap up the apartments \u2014 often with the help of the bank of Mum and Dad. There\u2019s also a strong interest from international buyers, particularly those who want a city base near to the city\u2019s consulates. Prices reflect the desirability of the area and can range from \u00a3500,000 for a two-bedroom flat to around \u00a32.5 million for a sizeable townhouse with garden.\u201d<\/p>\n Southeast<\/p>\n Cavendish Road, Weybridge, Surrey, KT13<\/b> This six-bedroom doer-upper on Cavendish Road, Weybridge, is on sale for \u00a33.95 million through Savills<\/p>\n Cavendish Road is one of Surrey\u2019s most expensive streets, sitting in St George\u2019s Hill, an ultra-exclusive gated community in Weybridge, Surrey, known for its mega-rich residents. Notable previous residents here include Tom Jones and John Lennon, and Chelsea footballers are split between addresses here and the nearby Wentworth Estate. <\/p>\n Amid this sea of bling, not all properties are pushing eight figures \u2026 if you can find a doer-upper. For example, Savills<\/a> is selling a \u00a33.95 million six-bedroom, three-floor detached 1930s house, which it euphemistically describes as a \u201cblank canvas family home\u201d sitting on 1.2 acres.<\/p>\n Or you could build your own: a 1.57 acre plot, cleared for planning consent, is on the market for \u00a34.95 million.<\/a> Add a few million on top for construction costs.<\/p>\n Southwest<\/b><\/p>\n Alington Road, Sandbanks, Poole, BH14<\/b> This mansion on Alington Road, Sandbanks, is on sale for \u00a32.25 million with Tailor Made Estate Agency<\/p>\n Alington Road is just off the ultra-exclusive Sandbanks peninsula in Dorset, known for attracting the rich and famous thanks to its secluded location, spectacular harbour views and hotspots such as Rick Stein\u2019s restaurant. <\/p>\n Savills is selling a \u00a37.75 million<\/a> \u201cexceptional and timeless coastal residence\u201d on Alington Road, stretching to over 7,000 sq ft including a gym, luxury pool and sauna along with views of Poole Harbour. <\/p>\n Wales<\/b><\/p>\n Hollybush Road, Cardiff, CF23 <\/b> A four-bedroom detached house on Hollybush Road, Cardiff, is on sale for \u00a31.1 million with Peter Alan<\/p>\n Wales\u2019s most expensive road, Hollybush Road is in the neighbourhood of Cyncoed, one of the poshest parts of Cardiff. <\/p>\n Mike Watkins, of Mr and Mrs Clarke, an estate agency, points out that the street has a \u201cwonderful mix of older homes with character alongside some impressive newer builds \u2014 many of which have swimming pools and are in the catchment area for Cardiff High School. The street has a lovely leafy feel, with mainly detached houses that give you plenty of privacy.\u201d<\/p>\n Cyncoed has an elevated position with fantastic views over Cardiff and the mountains in the distance. James Thomas, of Savills Cardiff, says the area also has Cardiff golf club, \u201cone of the finest golf courses in South Wales\u201d.<\/p>\n West Midlands<\/b><\/p>\n Broad Lane, Tanworth-in-Arden, Solihull, B94<\/b> Beaumont Hill Farm on Broad Lane, in Tanworth-in- Arden, is on sale for \u00a33.25 million with Knight Frank<\/p>\n Tanworth-in-Arden, a village of 3,000 eight miles from Solihull and 13 from Stratford-upon-Avon, is a significant beneficiary of the \u201crace-for-space\u201d during the Covid lockdown, when thousands of urban dwellers headed for the countryside. <\/p>\n Rural dwellers looking for a village lifestyle have the choice of two well-loved pubs, plus a traditional village green, a village store, and a 14th-century church. The 18-hole Ladbrook golf club is close, too. <\/p>\n Broad Lane contains spectacular properties, including a seven-bedroom 18,302 sq ft grade II listed home complete with outbuildings and land totalling 32.74 acres, on sale for \u00a33.25 million with Knight Frank<\/a>. Multimillionaires living here include businessmen who can get to London Marylebone from Warwick Parkway in 93 minutes, or Euston in 70 minutes from Birmingham International. <\/p>\n Yorkshire and the Humber<\/b><\/p>\n Main Street, Cherry Burton, East Riding of Yorkshire, HU17<\/b> Cherry Burton Hall is on sale for \u00a34.5 million jointly with Blue Book Agency and Hewetson and Johnson<\/p>\n This area, near the market town of Beverley, is renowned for its outstanding sprawling Georgian houses, many of which are grade II listed and more than 3,000 sq ft, with plenty of land including equestrian facilities. <\/p>\n The average values on Main Street are boosted significantly in Rightmove\u2019s research by the listing of a magnificent ten-bedroom country house, Cherry Burton Hall, which is on the market for \u00a34.5 million with Hewetson and Johnson and Blue Book Agency.<\/p>\n
