How Norfolk Place, Penrith prices moved
The chart tracks the median Norfolk Place, Penrith house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2020. 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 | 5 | £37,250 | £82,713 |
| 2000s | 5 | £70,000 | £127,519 |
| 2010s | 1 | £81,000 | £114,210 |
| 2020s | 1 | £90,000 | £91,957 |
The highest yearly median on record for Norfolk Place, Penrith is £115,000 in 2007; the lowest is £35,875 in 1997. Across the full 26-year record the cash median has moved from £37,500 to £90,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £83,268, so the real change over the whole record is +39.9% — about +1.35% 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: -21.7% in cash against -41.7% 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.

The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

Section 03
Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Norfolk Place, Penrith values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Norfolk Place, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flat or maisonette | 95 | 72.0% | £70,000 | £28,000 – £117,000 |
| Terraced | 20 | 15.2% | £129,950 | £35,500 – £220,000 |
| Semi-detached | 13 | 9.8% | £65,000 | £41,000 – £220,000 |
| Detached | 4 | 3.0% | £75,000 | £68,000 – £312,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Norfolk Place, Penrith
102 of the sales on record are leasehold and 30 freehold — 77.3% 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 £70,000 and the median freehold sale £128,475 — a gap of +83.5%. 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 | 102 | 77.3% | £70,000 |
| Freehold | 30 | 22.7% | £128,475 |
| New build | 1 | 0.8% | £35,000 |
| Existing home | 131 | 99.2% | £73,500 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -52.4%. 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 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.

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.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |

| C | 29,797 | 24.3% |

| E | 22,921 | 18.7% |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Westmorland and Furness at £808 a month as of Jun 2026 — £598 for a one-bedroom home and £933 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £73,250 here, that rent is a gross yield of 13.24% 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 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.

Norfolk Place, Penrith sits in Westmorland and Furness, in the North West.
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. 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 Norfolk Place, Penrith?
The median price paid in Norfolk Place, Penrith across every sale on the register is £73,250. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in Norfolk Place, Penrith?
132 sales are on record for Norfolk Place, Penrith, the most recent completing on 6 Mar 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

In cash, the median rose -21.7% between 2007 and 2020. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is -41.7%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Norfolk Place, Penrith house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £115,000, 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 Norfolk Place, Penrith?
£1,324 per square metre, from the 36 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 6 Mar 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.
