How Dovedale Crescent, Buxton prices moved
The chart tracks the median Dovedale Crescent, Buxton house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2000 to 2025. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000s | 1 | £79,250 | £144,370 |
| 2020s | 2 | £325,000 | £332,065 |
The highest yearly median on record for Dovedale Crescent, Buxton is £336,500 in 2025; the lowest is £79,250 in 2000. Across the full 26-year record the cash median has moved from £79,250 to £336,500.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £158,500, so the real change over the whole record is +116.9% — about +3.15% 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: +324.6% in cash against +116.9% 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.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Dovedale Crescent, Buxton 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 | 60 | 82.2% | £180,000 | £8,000 – £423,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Dovedale Crescent, Buxton
20 of the sales on record are leasehold and 53 freehold — 27.4% 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 £162,000 and the median freehold sale £187,000 — 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 | 20 | 27.4% | £162,000 |
| Freehold | 53 | 72.6% | £187,000 |

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Derbyshire Dales, 34.6% of 35,917 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 10.3% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Derbyshire Dales at £807 a month as of Jun 2026 — £585 for a one-bedroom home and £896 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £183,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 5.29% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of SK17, 26 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 8 violent, 0 burglary, 1 vehicle-related and 5 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 6.4 times quieter.
Against the 71,540 residents the 2021 census counted in Derbyshire Dales, that is 0.36 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

Within Buxton the street ranks 148 of 439 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £145,000 (+26.2%).

Dovedale Crescent, Buxton sits in Derbyshire Dales, in the West Midlands.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Derbyshire Dales at 8.9 times median local earnings of £35,253 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Dovedale Crescent, Buxton?

When were Dovedale Crescent, Buxton house prices at their highest?

£2,185 per square metre, from the 22 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 14 Nov 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.
