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 Recreation Ground Road, Stamford 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. Recreation Ground Road, Stamford 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 64 | 84.2% | £175,000 | £32,000 – £450,000 |
| Semi-detached | 11 | 14.5% | £168,000 | £54,000 – £399,950 |
| Detached | 1 | 1.3% | £89,950 | £89,950 – £89,950 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Recreation Ground Road, Stamford
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 76 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 | 76 | 100.0% | £174,998 |
| New build | 3 | 3.9% | £89,950 |
| Existing home | 73 | 96.1% | £175,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -48.6%. 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.

Living in Recreation Ground Road, Stamford
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across North Northamptonshire, 51.7% of 169,866 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 3.3% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 1,840 | 1.1% |
| B | 28,472 | 16.8% |
| C | 57,534 | 33.9% |
| D | 56,985 | 33.5% |
| E | 19,365 | 11.4% |
| F | 4,500 | 2.6% |
| G | 1,170 | 0.7% |
The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in North Northamptonshire at £985 a month as of Jun 2026 — £679 for a one-bedroom home and £1,060 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £174,998 here, that rent is a gross yield of 6.75% 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 PE9, 112 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 50 violent, 1 burglary, 7 vehicle-related and 22 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.5 times quieter.
Against the 359,525 residents the 2021 census counted in North Northamptonshire, that is 0.31 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.
Section 08
The neighbourhood around Recreation Ground Road, Stamford
The 2021 census counted 359,525 residents in North Northamptonshire across 148,918 households. 66.2% of those households own their home and 33.7% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.

Recreation Ground Road, Stamford sits in North Northamptonshire, in the East Midlands.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in North Northamptonshire at 7.3 times median local earnings of £35,745 a year, measured to Sep 2025.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Recreation Ground Road, Stamford?

How many homes have sold in Recreation Ground Road, Stamford?
76 sales are on record for Recreation Ground Road, Stamford, the most recent completing on 8 Mar 2024. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

When were Recreation Ground Road, Stamford house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £277,500, set in 2017. 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 Recreation Ground Road, Stamford?
£2,516 per square metre, from the 8 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 8 Mar 2024. 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.
