These Are the Priciest Streets in All of Great Britain
Barnet, in North London, lays claim to two of the country’s most expensive roads to own a home.

Winnington Road, lined in red-brick mansions, some set behind tall hedges and many with gated entries, spans a leafy stretch of the North London borough of Barnet.
It’s also the most expensive street in Great Britain, according to a report Monday from Rightmove.
A home on the well-to-do street, which is close to Highgate Golf Club and Hampstead Heath, has an average asking price of £12.5 million (US$17.7 million), the online property portal said.
The most expensive home for sale on the street is a 10-bedroom house asking £17.95 million.
London lays claim to many of the most expensive streets in the U.K.
Chester Square in London’s Westminster ranked as the second-priciest street, with an average asking price of £11.5 million. The Bishops Avenue, also in Barnet, rounded out the top three, with an average price tag of £8.9 million.
“This year’s top 20 [most expensive] is taken up almost entirely by London addresses, showing the city still reigns supreme when it comes to ultra-prime property,” Colleen Babcock, Rightmove’s property expert, said in the report.
“For buyers looking for prestigious roads outside of the hustle and bustle of London, Elmbridge in Surrey is flying the flag for the rest of the country as the only area outside the capital to make the top 20 list,” Babcock said.
Homes on East Road in Elmbridge—about 20 miles southwest of central London—have an average asking price of £8.8 million.
Outside of England, Drumsheugh Gardens in Edinburgh is the most expensive street in Scotland with an average asking price of £560,000. Hollybush Road in Cardiff, where homes ask an average of £1.2 million, is the most expensive in Wales.

A Denver condo that hit the market earlier this week for $16 million is now the Mile High City’s most expensive listing.
The new listing by far beats the next-priciest home for sale, a condo in a new development that was put on the market at the beginning of the year for about $9.79 million.
The city’s most expensive single-family home is asking just shy of $9 million—the metro area’s priciest single-family homes tend to be in the Cherry Hills Village suburb.
At 7,145 square feet, the newly listed unit is nearly double the size of the one in the new development and more on par with the size of some of Denver’s most expensive single-family homes.
It’s on the top floor of a seven-story mixed-use building that was built in 2008 in the Cherry Creek neighbourhood, one of the most affluent areas of the city.
The last time the three-bedroom apartment sold was before it was even completed, though it’s been owned under a few different LLCs and trusts.
The seller, who Mansion Global wasn’t able to identify, bought the condo from the developer in September 2007 for $4.047 million, records show.
The design of the interiors is European-inspired, with decorative columns, elaborate millwork and ornate built-ins.
Plus, there’s a mahogany-clad study, a formal dining room that seats up to 30 guests and views of mountains and Denver Country Club’s golf course.
A private terrace adds 1,230 square feet of outdoor living space and features a fireplace and a built-in barbecue, according to the listing with Josh Behr of LIV Sotheby’s International Realty.
A representative for Behr didn’t respond to a request for comment.
