In cash terms the typical CA14 1 home went from £45,000 in 1995 to £200,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 104%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2006; the current median sits about 22% below that. Someone who bought at the 2006 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CA14 1 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+24.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2014 (−7.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.6% | −2.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.5% | −1.2% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Sales activity in CA14 1
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 54 sales completed in CA14 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 167 sales a year before the financial crisis and 108 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
Reading the CA14 1 market
This is a thin market: 54 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Against the CA14 district median, CA14 1 sits 18% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
The rental side of CA14 1
The local authority for CA14 1 is Cumberland, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £666 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £496 a month here against £1,071 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Cumberland
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £200,000 median sold price, £666 a month is £7,992 a year, a gross yield of 4.0%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

Of everything listed here, 100% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.

Moving up a bedroom in CA: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the CA area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £220,000 | £300,000 (+36%) | £430,000 (+43%) | £523,000 (+22%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
