How Macadam Gardens, Penrith prices moved
The chart tracks the median Macadam Gardens, Penrith house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1996 to 2017. 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 | 4 | £69,325 | £153,934 |
| 2000s | 6 | £113,000 | £205,853 |
| 2010s | 1 | £231,000 | £325,710 |
The highest yearly median on record for Macadam Gardens, Penrith is £231,000 in 2017; the lowest is £51,150 in 1996. Across the full 22-year record the cash median has moved from £51,150 to £231,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £110,956, so the real change over the whole record is +183.3% — about +5.08% 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: +40.9% in cash against +3.3% 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. Macadam Gardens, Penrith 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 | 84 | 63.6% | £150,500 | £32,300 – £299,000 |
| Semi-detached | 25 | 18.9% | £89,000 | £49,950 – £232,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Macadam Gardens, Penrith
34 of the sales on record are leasehold and 98 freehold — 25.8% 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 £85,575 and the median freehold sale £139,500 — a gap of +63.0%. 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 | 34 | 25.8% | £85,575 |
| Freehold | 98 | 74.2% | £139,500 |
| New build | 35 | 26.5% | £79,150 |
| Existing home | 97 | 73.5% | £162,500 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -51.3%. 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.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Westmorland and Furness, 32.5% of 122,630 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 11.2% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.

Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of CA11, 14 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 7 violent, 0 burglary, 1 vehicle-related and 0 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 11.9 times quieter.
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.

The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Westmorland and Furness at 5.9 times median local earnings of £40,529 a year, measured to Sep 2025.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Macadam Gardens, Penrith?

How many homes have sold in Macadam Gardens, Penrith?

When were Macadam Gardens, Penrith house prices at their highest?

£1,924 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.

The latest sale shown here completed on 1 Apr 2026. 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.
