Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Compston Street, 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 | 29 | 78.4% | £249,500 | £53,500 – £425,000 |
| Semi-detached | 6 | 16.2% | £95,000 | £86,000 – £249,999 |
| Flat or maisonette | 2 | 5.4% | £320,000 | £320,000 – £340,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Compston Street, Ambleside
2 of the sales on record are leasehold and 35 freehold — 5.4% 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 £330,000 and the median freehold sale £242,000 — a gap of -26.7%. 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 | 2 | 5.4% | £330,000 |
| Freehold | 35 | 94.6% | £242,000 |
A further 5 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 Compston Street, Ambleside compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Compston Street, Ambleside sits above that national figure — +54.9%.
Within Ambleside the street ranks 61 of 115 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £249,500 (-2.2%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,149 per square metre, across 5 of the 37 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 £53,500 to £425,000. 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.
