How Poppy Drive, Thirsk prices moved
The chart tracks the median Poppy Drive, Thirsk house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2017 to 2021. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2010s | 3 | £293,950 | £414,470 |
| 2020s | 1 | £273,250 | £279,190 |
The highest yearly median on record for Poppy Drive, Thirsk is £315,000 in 2019; the lowest is £261,450 in 2017. Across the full 5-year record the cash median has moved from £261,450 to £273,250.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £355,834, so the real change over the whole record is -3.0% — about -0.75% 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.
Section 02
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.

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 Poppy Drive, Thirsk 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. Poppy Drive, Thirsk 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 | 36 | 73.5% | £302,950 | £43,000 – £385,000 |
| Semi-detached | 8 | 16.3% | £132,000 | £90,000 – £292,950 |
| Terraced | 4 | 8.2% | £157,950 | £157,950 – £210,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 1 | 2.0% | £79,987 | £79,987 – £79,987 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Poppy Drive, Thirsk
5 of the sales on record are leasehold and 44 freehold — 10.2% 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 £90,000 and the median freehold sale £299,950 — a gap of +233.3%. 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 | 5 | 10.2% | £90,000 |
| Freehold | 44 | 89.8% | £299,950 |
| New build | 30 | 61.2% | £297,450 |
| Existing home | 19 | 38.8% | £289,000 |
New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +2.9%. 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 28 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 Poppy Drive, Thirsk
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across North Yorkshire, 38.1% of 324,488 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 8.5% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 2,546 | 0.8% |
| B | 37,477 | 11.5% |
| C | 83,448 | 25.7% |
| D | 117,825 | 36.3% |
| E | 55,738 | 17.2% |
| F | 20,519 | 6.3% |
| G | 6,935 | 2.1% |
The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in North Yorkshire at £838 a month as of Jun 2026 — £586 for a one-bedroom home and £929 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £294,950 here, that rent is a gross yield of 3.41% 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 YO7, 47 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 18 violent, 0 burglary, 0 vehicle-related and 12 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 3.6 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.

How Poppy Drive, Thirsk compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Poppy Drive, Thirsk sits above that national figure — +87.3%.
Within Thirsk the street ranks 46 of 291 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £179,950 (+63.9%).
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published here. An estimate would be a guess, and the archive does not publish guesses.
The full range on record runs from £43,000 to £385,000. 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.
Poppy Drive, Thirsk sits in North Yorkshire, in the Yorkshire and The Humber.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in North Yorkshire at 7.9 times median local earnings of £34,785 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.
