What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Academy Close, Kirkby Stephen 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 11 | 64.7% | £384,950 | £350,000 – £435,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Academy Close, Kirkby Stephen
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 17 freehold — 0.0% 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.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 17 | 100.0% | £369,995 |
| New build | 16 | 94.1% | £367,498 |
| Existing home | 1 | 5.9% | £385,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -4.5%. 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

Within Kirkby Stephen the street ranks 1 of 65 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £155,000 (+138.7%).
