House prices on the 10 most expensive streets in Cambridgeshire are all in excess of £1 million, according to new research.

The priciest road in the county in 2016 was Great Shelford's Mingle Lane, where the average house price from four sales was a hefty £1.86 million.

The majority of the region's exclusive residential areas are to the south, west and southeast of Cambridge's city centre.

The average price of homes in Trumpington's Plantation Avenue last year was £1,787,000, while in Newnham's Gough Way houses averaged at £1,113,333.

At the other end of the housing scale, Pecks Court in Chatteris was Cambridgeshire's least expensive road in 2016, with an average price of £56,625.

All of the region's cheapest properties were located across Fenland and Huntingdonshire.

The most expensive street in England and Wales in 2016 was Landsdowne Crescent in Notting Hill, where homes go for an average of £9.6 million.

The least expensive street, for the third year in a row, was Waterloo Walk in Sunderland, where flats sold for an average of £14,500 in 2015, down from £16,500 in 2015.

The research figures are based on data from the Land Registry, which lists the price paid for every residential property bought at market value, including buy to let sales, repossessions, and property bought through companies.

Averages for each road are based on all sale prices in 2016, with streets seeing fewer than three sales excluded from final results.

Richard Freshwater, director of property advisers and estate agents Cheffins said: "Mingle Lane is a beautiful leafy suburb near the centre of Great Shelford with an amazing range of local amenities and close to a mainline station and this combination of factors is always going to lead to premium prices.

"The disparity between Cambridge and Huntingdon is all about employment and people are willing to pay a premium to be able to walk to work.

"Similarly, Cambridge offers some of the best educational facilities in the world, first-class shopping and restaurants and bars and generally is known to have a fantastic lifestyle.

"With employment being the main driver when it comes to price, Cambridge’s population is set to grow as more corporate giants make it one of their strategic locations.

"For example, ARM which hit headlines in July due to its acquisition by SoftBank, has announced that it is developing two areas of land adjoining its current headquarters at Peterhouse Technology Park and has promised to double its staff count.

"We also have seen announcements from Amazon, Spotify and Google all of which have opened, or are planning on opening large offices in Cambridge and Papworth Hospital has announced that it will move to Addenbrooke's in 2018, all increasing footfall and demand for Cambridge property."
