How Kirkfield, Ambleside prices moved
The chart tracks the median Kirkfield, Ambleside house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1997 to 2007. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 1 | £57,500 | £127,677 |
| 2000s | 2 | £132,000 | £240,465 |
The highest yearly median on record for Kirkfield, Ambleside is £169,000 in 2007; the lowest is £57,500 in 1997. Across the full 11-year record the cash median has moved from £57,500 to £169,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £121,917, so the real change over the whole record is +141.0% — about +9.19% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +193.9% in cash against +141.0% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Kirkfield, Ambleside
3 of the sales on record are leasehold and 57 freehold — 5.0% 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 £136,500 and the median freehold sale £157,500 — a gap of +15.4%. 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 | 3 | 5.0% | £136,500 |
| Freehold | 57 | 95.0% | £157,500 |

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Kirkfield, Ambleside?

How many homes have sold in Kirkfield, Ambleside?
60 sales are on record for Kirkfield, Ambleside, the most recent completing on 10 Dec 2025. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

In cash, the median rose +193.9% between 1997 and 2007. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +141.0%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Kirkfield, Ambleside house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £169,000, set in 2007. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Kirkfield, Ambleside?
£2,076 per square metre, from the 9 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 10 Dec 2025. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
