Homes that sold twice

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Wansfell 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-detached | 10 | 35.7% | £365,000 | £66,500 – £565,000 |
| Terraced | 8 | 28.6% | £130,000 | £67,000 – £475,000 |
| Detached | 5 | 17.9% | £465,000 | £180,000 – £581,119 |
| Flat or maisonette | 5 | 17.9% | £120,000 | £69,000 – £201,500 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Wansfell Road, Ambleside
5 of the sales on record are leasehold and 23 freehold — 17.9% 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 £120,000 and the median freehold sale £275,000 — a gap of +129.2%. 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 | 5 | 17.9% | £120,000 |
| Freehold | 23 | 82.1% | £275,000 |
A further 4 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 Wansfell Road, Ambleside compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Wansfell Road, Ambleside sits above that national figure — +42.9%.
Within Ambleside the street ranks 69 of 115 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £249,500 (-9.8%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £3,558 per square metre, across 8 of the 28 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 £66,500 to £581,119. 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.
