In cash terms the typical CA14 4 home went from £51,200 in 1995 to £220,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 98%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2010; the current median sits about 20% below that. Someone who bought at the 2010 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the CA14 4 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 2005 (+29.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−13.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −8.3% | −10.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.7% | −1.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
Over the last twelve months of data, 53 sales completed in CA14 4. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 130 sales a year recently, against 130 a year before 2008. 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.
What tenants pay around CA14 4
For renting purposes CA14 4 sits in Cumberland. The ONS average private rent there is £666 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £496 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,071 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Cumberland
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £220,000 median purchase price, a rent of £666 a month (£7,992 a year) works out at a 3.6% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
What kind of market CA14 4 is
Only 53 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes CA14 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within CA14, this sector trades 29% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

These cover the whole CA14 district, not just CA14 4: live asking prices are collected per district.
100% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
"Under comparable sales" compares each asking price with what similar homes nearby actually sold for. It is a starting point for a conversation, not a valuation. Always look at the home itself.

Bedroom by bedroom: CA prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the CA area, from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £220,000 | £300,000 (+36%) | £430,000 (+43%) | £523,000 (+22%) |
| Semi-detached | £142,000 | £155,000 (+9%) | £205,000 (+32%) | £265,000 (+29%) | £357,500 (+35%) |

| Flat | £92,000 | £124,950 (+36%) | £165,500 (+32%) | — | — |
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.
