How Sycamore Drive, Workington prices moved
The chart tracks the median Sycamore Drive, Workington house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2019 to 2022. 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 | 1 | £207,950 | £293,210 |
| 2020s | 2 | £240,000 | £245,217 |
The highest yearly median on record for Sycamore Drive, Workington is £269,950 in 2020; the lowest is £207,950 in 2019. Across the full 4-year record the cash median has moved from £207,950 to £240,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £271,994, so the real change over the whole record is +2.2% — about +0.74% 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.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Sycamore Drive, Workington 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 | 52 | 60.5% | £284,950 | £207,950 – £385,000 |
| Semi-detached | 18 | 20.9% | £191,950 | £129,600 – £220,000 |
| Terraced | 16 | 18.6% | £116,000 | £101,600 – £240,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Sycamore Drive, Workington
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 86 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 | 86 | 100.0% | £255,450 |
| New build | 65 | 75.6% | £255,950 |
| Existing home | 21 | 24.4% | £240,000 |
New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +6.6%. 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 3 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.

Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of CA14, 180 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 108 violent, 6 burglary, 3 vehicle-related and 5 anti-social behaviour.

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.
