Kennedy Place Named Ulverston's Most Expensive Street To Buy A Home
Kennedy Place has emerged as Ulverston's most expensive residential street, with homes selling for an average of £532,245 between August 2021 and July 2026.
The ranking is based on an analysis of completed property transactions recorded by HM Land Registry over the five-year period. Beacon Drive secured second position with an average sale price of £449,424, followed by Cinder Road at £435,087. St Marys Drive and Furnace Close completed the top five, with average prices of £428,101 and £425,551 respectively. Each of the five streets recorded average property sales above £425,000.
Kennedy Place recorded ten property transactions during the period, producing the highest average among the streets included in the comparison. The difference between first and second place was almost £83,000. Individual sales have reached considerably higher figures, with one detached property on Kennedy Place changing hands for £725,000 in May 2026. Separate property data also indicates an average internal floor area of approximately 153 square metres, equivalent to 1,647 square feet, among the homes included in a recent sample.
Beacon Drive ranked second, recording 14 completed sales and an average price of £449,424. The street features substantial family accommodation, with examples including four-bedroom properties offering open-plan kitchen, dining and living spaces, separate lounges and utility rooms. One property brochure also highlights front and rear gardens, off-road parking and an integral garage, alongside views towards open countryside and Hoad Monument. However, individual property features and values vary across the street.
Cinder Road secured third place with an average sale price of £435,087 from ten recorded transactions. Its average was approximately £14,337 below Beacon Drive and £6,986 above St Marys Drive. Properties on the street include different types of family accommodation, including three-bedroom semi-detached houses with driveways and gardens. The range demonstrates that higher-priced residential areas are not necessarily made up exclusively of large detached properties.
St Marys Drive recorded an average sale price of £428,101 across 19 transactions, making it the street with the largest number of sales among the five highest-ranked locations. Separate property measurements indicate an average internal floor area of around 138 square metres, or approximately 1,485 square feet, for the homes included in a recent sample. This is around 15 square metres smaller than the corresponding sample for Kennedy Place, although the figures cover different groups of properties.
Furnace Close completed the ranking with an average sale price of £425,551 based on nine transactions. The difference between fourth and fifth place was relatively small, at just £2,550. Examples of properties on the street include four-bedroom detached houses with garages, double driveways and additional garden rooms. One advertised home also features an electric vehicle charging point, an en-suite bedroom and a separate utility room, although these facilities should not be considered representative of every property in the area.
The comparison uses standard residential property transactions recorded between 1 August 2021 and 31 July 2026. Streets needed to have at least five qualifying sales to be included, helping to avoid rankings based on only one or two unusually expensive purchases. The analysis also excludes surrounding villages, meaning the figures relate specifically to streets within Ulverston rather than the wider surrounding area.
The figures represent average completed sale prices rather than current valuations of individual homes. Differences in property size, condition, age and the number of detached or terraced houses sold can influence the average for each street. The findings nevertheless provide an indication of where some of Ulverston's highest-value residential property transactions have taken place over the past five years, with Kennedy Place clearly ahead of the other streets in the ranking.
