Section 02
The most recent sales

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 Sand Croft, Penrith values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Sand Croft, 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 | 39 | 50.6% | £323,500 | £93,000 – £505,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 36 | 46.8% | £141,000 | £14,000 – £193,000 |
| Semi-detached | 2 | 2.6% | £172,000 | £172,000 – £180,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Sand Croft, Penrith
36 of the sales on record are leasehold and 41 freehold — 46.8% 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 £145,500 and the median freehold sale £315,000 — a gap of +116.5%. 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 | 36 | 46.8% | £145,500 |
| Freehold | 41 | 53.2% | £315,000 |
| New build | 7 | 9.1% | £110,000 |
| Existing home | 70 | 90.9% | £177,500 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -38.0%. 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.

Living in Sand Croft, Penrith
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 |
|---|---|---|
| A | 731 | 0.6% |
| B | 9,385 | 7.7% |
| C | 29,797 | 24.3% |
| D | 46,012 | 37.5% |
| 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 £172,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 5.64% 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.

Within Penrith the street ranks 209 of 552 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £156,000 (+10.3%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,143 per square metre, across 26 of the 77 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 £14,000 to £505,000. 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.
Sand Croft, 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.
