•Leicester Road tops the most expensive list in the region

•Ashby reflects rising nationwide average house price

Ashby's Leicester Road has been named the most expensive road to live in the East Midlands.

The street has an average price of £1.6million - putting it at the top of the region's highest priced housing according to a survey by Lloyds Bank Data.

Leicester Road was mentioned among the most expensive streets in each region of England and Wales.

This is how Ashby compares to prices in the rest of the country.

In the North-West, home to a string of millionaire footballers, Chesham Place in Altrincham, has homes selling for an average of £2.5 million.

Then comes Storeys Way (2.3 million) in Cambridge in East Anglia; Rising Lane (£1.9 million) in Solihull, West Midlands; the Yorkshire and Humber street of Fulwith Mill Lane (£1.6 million) in Harrogate; and Newby Bridge Road (£1.5 million) in Windermere in the North.

"The average house prices in the top 10 priciest streets in the South-East have risen by around £300,000 in the past year, with the 10 prestigious addresses in the area commanding an average house price in excess of £4.4 million," said Andrew Mason, mortgage director of Lloyds Bank, told homesandproperty.co.uk

While last year every single region in the UK had at least one Millionaires Row, Mr Mason said that more than 80 of England's most expensive regions have at least one £1million street in 2019.

The average price of a home in Britain's most expensive street has risen to £17.2 million, an increase of £1.6 million compared to last year.

This is more than 62 times the cost of the average UK home, currently £275,000.

Ilchester Place, which borders Holland Park in London, W14, has held the title of the nation's most expensive street for a second year.
