What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Blue Hill Road, Ambleside is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 13 | 61.9% | £247,000 | £50,000 – £467,888 |
| Semi-detached | 6 | 28.6% | £287,000 | £94,000 – £416,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 1 | 4.8% | £285,000 | £285,000 – £285,000 |
| Detached | 1 | 4.8% | £641,000 | £641,000 – £641,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Blue Hill Road, Ambleside
1 of the sales on record are leasehold and 20 freehold — 4.8% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
The median leasehold sale is £285,000 and the median freehold sale £268,000 — a gap of -6.0%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 1 | 4.8% | £285,000 |
| Freehold | 20 | 95.2% | £268,000 |
| New build | 2 | 9.5% | £189,500 |
| Existing home | 19 | 90.5% | £287,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -34.0%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.
A further 1 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.
Section 09
How Blue Hill Road, Ambleside compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Blue Hill Road, Ambleside sits above that national figure — +81.0%.
Within Ambleside the street ranks 34 of 115 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £249,500 (+14.2%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £4,409 per square metre, across 6 of the 21 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.
The full range on record runs from £50,000 to £641,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.
