Most Expensive Streets in Bristol: New Top 10

The most expensive street in Bristol by average sold price is Litfield Place in the BS8 district, where two standard residential sales average £2,662,500 on the latest Land Registry price paid data. That average rests on just two sales three months apart, £3.9 million in March 2021 and £1,425,000 that June, so it is a headline built on a small sample rather than a settled market level. The record for the single biggest sale anywhere in the dataset sits a few places down the table, on Manor Road in Abbots Leigh: £4.8 million, paid for a detached house in November 2024.

The rest of the top ten clusters in Bristol's western suburbs and the villages across the Avon Gorge. Four of the ten streets sit in the BS8 postcode district, three more are in BS9, and single entries fall in BS6, BS20 and BS48. Average sold prices across the ten run from £1,551,000 at tenth place up to that £2,662,500 at the top. Because several of these streets qualify on only two sales, the sale count sits next to every average, so you can see which figures rest on a deep sample and which on a thin one.

Article updated: July 2026.

We analysed 81,353 standard residential sales recorded in the latest HM Land Registry price paid data for the Bristol postal town, covering January 2020 to May 2026. Streets are ranked by average sold price and need at least two qualifying sales to appear. If sold prices are less use to you than rents and yields, our Bristol buy-to-let guide covers the investor side of the city postcode by postcode. Below you will find the full top ten, the biggest sale on each street, the total value of sales street by street, and where the top of the Bristol market actually sits.

Top 10 Most Expensive Streets in Bristol

Rank & Street Postcode Average Price Sales
1. Litfield Place BS8 £2,662,500 2
2. Harris Lane, Abbots Leigh BS8 £1,985,000 2
3. Manor Road, Abbots Leigh BS8 £1,950,000 6

8. Cadbury Camp Lane, Clapton in Gordano BS20 £1,630,811 14
9. Mariners Drive BS9 £1,564,042 12
10. Backwell Hill, Backwell BS48 £1,551,000 2

Note: Only streets with two or more standard residential transactions during this period are included in this table.

The map is dominated by two postcode districts and a handful of villages. BS8 supplies four of the ten streets and BS9 another three, with Napier Road in Redland (BS6), Cadbury Camp Lane in Clapton in Gordano (BS20) and Backwell Hill in Backwell (BS48) rounding out the list. These streets earn their places differently: some on a run of consistent seven-figure sales, others on two transactions far apart. The profiles below use the underlying sales to show which is which.

Litfield Place

Litfield Place tops the table, but on the thinnest evidence in it. Its two recorded sales are £3.9 million in March 2021 and £1,425,000 that June, three months apart and £2,475,000 apart in price. Average those two and you get £2,662,500, which is enough to lead Bristol, but the figure says more about one exceptional 2021 sale than about a settled price for the street. On two sales, read it as a thin-sample average sitting between those two very different prices, not as a typical value.

Harris Lane, Abbots Leigh

Harris Lane sits in Abbots Leigh, the same BS8 village as Manor Road, on the far side of the gorge from Clifton. Its two sales are £2.6 million in June 2021 and £1,370,000 in October 2023, a £1,230,000 gap that again leaves the £1,985,000 average resting on a small sample. Two sales two years apart is a headline, not a trend.

Manor Road, Abbots Leigh

Manor Road in Abbots Leigh is where the record sits and where the table has its deepest story. Its six sales run the widest spread of any street here: £875,000 in October 2020, £2.7 million in December 2022, £1,350,000 in March 2024 and £975,000 that October, before the record £4.8 million detached house completed in November 2024, with a £1 million sale following in July 2025. Take the record out and the other five sales average £1.38 million; with it, the street average is £1.95 million. That single transaction is why the record is worth reading separately from the street average, and why the sales count sits beside every figure in these tables.

Cote Road: Sneyd Park and Stoke Bishop

Cote Road in BS9 is fourth on two sales that, unusually for a two-sale street, land close together: £1,880,000 in February 2023 and £2 million in September 2025. The tighter the two sales, the more the average means, and a £120,000 gap is about as tight as a two-sale street gets. It sits in the north-west Bristol belt of Sneyd Park and Stoke Bishop that supplies the BS9 entries in this table.

Old Sneed Park: Sneyd Park's Most Consistent Street

Old Sneed Park in BS9 shares its name with the Old Sneed Park nature reserve, which Bristol City Council lists as sitting in Sneyd Park, near Stoke Bishop, in north-west Bristol. For anyone searching Sneyd Park's property market, this is the street the sold-price data ranks highest. Its six sales between January 2021 and March 2025 all landed between £1,555,000 and £1,977,000. No other six-sale street in this top ten comes close to that consistency: the gap between its cheapest and dearest sale is £422,000, against £3,925,000 on Manor Road.

Cadbury Camp Lane, Clapton in Gordano

Cadbury Camp Lane is the busiest street in the top ten, with 14 qualifying sales, and the only entry from BS20. The lane's prices span £595,000 to £3.5 million, with the top sale completing in December 2023 and a £2.5 million sale following in January 2024. The register also shows two sales completing on the same day in April 2021, at £1,301,300 and £1,495,000; we present them as the Land Registry records them. Fourteen sales is a serious sample at this price level, which makes its £1,630,811 average one of the better-evidenced figures on this page.

Mariners Drive

Mariners Drive in BS9 recorded 12 sales, second only to Cadbury Camp Lane, with prices from £1,001,000 in February 2022 up to £2.45 million in November 2024. Two of those sales completed on the same day in February 2024, at £1,925,000 and £2,385,000, both within the same ten-number stretch of the street; again, we show them as recorded. The street also produced the most recent sale anywhere in this top ten, £1.95 million in November 2025, so the top end of BS9 kept transacting right into the final months of the data window.

The Two-Sale Streets: Norland Road, Napier Road and Backwell Hill

Three more streets qualify on two sales each. Norland Road in Clifton (BS8) recorded £1,524,000 in May 2022 and £1,875,000 in April 2023. Napier Road in Redland (BS6) is the table's only entry from that district, with £1,920,000 in September 2020 and £1,425,000 a year later. Backwell Hill, out in the village of Backwell (BS48), takes tenth place on £1,127,000 in December 2024 and £1,975,000 in August 2025. On two sales apiece, treat these averages as indicative rather than settled.

The Most Expensive House Sold in Bristol

Updated July 2026

Date range: 1st January 2020 to 27th May 2026. Based on the latest Land Registry price paid data at the time of research.

The highest price paid for a home anywhere in the Bristol postal town during this period was £4.8 million, for a detached freehold house on Manor Road in Abbots Leigh, completed in November 2024. The next-biggest sale among the ten ranked streets was the £3.9 million paid on Litfield Place in March 2021, followed by £3.5 million on Cadbury Camp Lane in December 2023. The table below shows the single largest sale recorded on each of the top ten streets.

Street Name Postcode Highest Sale Sale Date
Manor Road BS8 £4,800,000 November 2024
Litfield Place BS8 £3,900,000 March 2021
Cadbury Camp Lane BS20 £3,500,000 December 2023
Harris Lane BS8 £2,600,000 June 2021
Mariners Drive BS9 £2,450,000 November 2024
Cote Road BS9 £2,000,000 September 2025
Old Sneed Park BS9 £1,977,000 August 2024
Backwell Hill BS48 £1,975,000 August 2025
Napier Road BS6 £1,920,000 September 2020
Norland Road BS8 £1,875,000 April 2023

Note: This table shows the single highest standard residential (Category A) sale on each street in the top ten, ranked by price.

The dates show a top end that stayed active right through the window. Cote Road and Backwell Hill set their highs in September and August 2025, while Manor Road and Mariners Drive both peaked in November 2024. The oldest record in the table, on Napier Road, dates to September 2020. Manor Road's £4.8 million stands well clear of everything else, £900,000 above the £3.9 million paid on Litfield Place in second place.

Bristol's Record Streets: Total Value of Sales on the Top Ten

Updated July 2026

Date range: 1st January 2020 to 27th May 2026. Based on the latest Land Registry price paid data at the time of research.

Another way to read the same ten streets is by the total money that changed hands on each. These totals add up every qualifying sale on the ten ranked streets, so a busy street with a dozen sales will out-total a trophy street with two, even if the trophy street has the higher average.

Street Name Postcode Total Value Transactions
1. Cadbury Camp Lane BS20 £22,831,357 14
2. Mariners Drive BS9 £18,768,500 12
3. Manor Road BS8 £11,700,000 6
4. Old Sneed Park BS9 £10,422,000 6
5. Litfield Place BS8 £5,325,000 2
6. Harris Lane BS8 £3,970,000 2
7. Cote Road BS9 £3,880,000 2
8. Norland Road BS8 £3,399,000 2
9. Napier Road BS6 £3,345,000 2
10. Backwell Hill BS48 £3,102,000 2

Note: Totals are the sum of the qualifying standard residential (Category A) sales on each ranked street over the period.

Across all ten streets, buyers paid £86,742,857 over 50 sales in just under six and a half years. Cadbury Camp Lane leads on roughly £22.8 million, which is what 14 sales at a £1.63 million average adds up to, and Mariners Drive follows on £18.8 million. The two-sale streets sit at the bottom of this table however high their averages: Litfield Place tops the ranking on average but ranks fifth by total, because two sales can only add up to so much.

The totals above are confined to the ten most expensive streets. Widen the lens to the whole city and the single highest street total belongs elsewhere entirely: Pembroke Road in BS8 saw £72,070,403 change hands across 118 sales in the same window. That is a busy Clifton street whose total is built on volume rather than trophy prices, and none of the ten ranked streets comes close, because none trades anywhere near as often.

Where Do Bristol's Wealthy Actually Live?

If Bristol has a millionaires row, the sold-price data says it is less a single street than a loop around the Avon Gorge. On the city side sit the Clifton streets from our table, Litfield Place and Norland Road in BS8. Across the water is Abbots Leigh, home of both Manor Road and Harris Lane and of the £4.8 million record, close to Leigh Woods, the Forestry England woodland reached from the city over the Clifton Suspension Bridge. Swing north-west and BS9 takes over, with Cote Road, Old Sneed Park and Mariners Drive in the Sneyd Park and Stoke Bishop belt. Further out again, Cadbury Camp Lane in Clapton in Gordano recorded five sales at £2 million or more, more than any other street in the table.

By sold prices, the richest part of the Bristol market is the BS8 and BS9 pairing: seven of the ten most expensive streets sit in those two districts, from the streets around Clifton to Old Sneed Park and Mariners Drive in the north-west of the city. Ask about the posh areas of Bristol and these are the districts the sold-price record keeps pointing back to.

Sold prices cannot tell us who lives on a street or what its residents are worth; they show where buyers have paid the most, and on that measure the money concentrates in north-west Bristol and in the villages across the gorge. A street's sales count is also not its number of houses, only how many changed hands, which is why several of these streets appear on just two transactions.

This page measures sold prices, not rents or yields. For that side of the market, our Bristol buy-to-let guide covers prices, rents and yields postcode by postcode across the city. Very few buyers shop at the prices on this page anyway: a typical investment property sits several tiers below them, and the practical use of knowing where the ceiling is comes when weighing up everything beneath it.

How to Find the Most Expensive Streets in Bristol

Here is the step by step process we followed to get the data on the highest priced property sales and most expensive streets across Bristol. You can repeat it for any town or city in England and Wales.

  1. Visit the HM Land Registry price paid data set.
  2. Search by postal town. We used Bristol.
  3. Select the residential property types: detached, semi-detached, terraced and flat/maisonette. We left out "other", as it often includes commercial property.
  4. Select your dates. We used 1st January 2020 to the latest month available.
  5. Download the full results and rank streets by average sold price, keeping a minimum number of sales per street (we used two) so a single transaction cannot crown a winner.

Note: Check for duplicate entries before averaging anything. Land Registry transaction data can occasionally include duplicate listings; in this Bristol extract we found none, but on a street with only two sales a single duplicate can badly skew the average.

Sold-price history is also the yardstick for judging an asking price, because a discount only means something when it is measured against what actually sold, and that comparison is exactly how below market value properties are assessed. If the investor end of the market is more use to you than the trophy end, our buy to let property for sale page shows current deals across the UK.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most expensive street in Bristol?

By average sold price, Litfield Place in BS8: £2,662,500 across two standard residential sales between January 2020 and May 2026. That average rests on just two sales, of £3.9 million and £1,425,000, so it is a thin-sample figure rather than a settled street price. The record for the single biggest sale belongs to Manor Road in Abbots Leigh, at £4.8 million in November 2024.

What is the most expensive house sold in Bristol?

A detached freehold house on Manor Road in Abbots Leigh, which sold for £4.8 million in November 2024. That is the highest price recorded for any standard residential sale in the Bristol postal town between January 2020 and May 2026.

What is the most expensive area in Bristol?

By sold prices, BS8. Four of the ten most expensive streets sit in that one postcode district, covering Litfield Place and Norland Road in Clifton plus Harris Lane and Manor Road in Abbots Leigh. BS9, with Cote Road, Old Sneed Park and Mariners Drive, takes another three of the ten places.

What is Millionaires' Row in Bristol?

By average sold price the label fits Litfield Place, which leads the ranking at £2,662,500, but that figure comes from only two sales. On a deeper sample, Manor Road in Abbots Leigh has the stronger claim: six sales, a £1,950,000 average and the period's highest individual sale at £4.8 million. The phrase describes prices, not the finances of anyone living there.

Which Bristol streets qualify on only two sales?

Six of the ten do: Litfield Place, Harris Lane, Cote Road, Norland Road, Napier Road and Backwell Hill. Their averages are shown with the sale count so you can weigh them against the deeper samples on Manor Road, Old Sneed Park, Cadbury Camp Lane and Mariners Drive, which carry six or more sales each.

What are the most expensive roads in BS8?

Litfield Place has BS8's highest qualifying average at £2,662,500, followed by Harris Lane at £1,985,000, Manor Road at £1,950,000 and Norland Road at £1,699,500. The first two and Manor Road all sit in or near Abbots Leigh and Clifton on either side of the gorge.

What are the most expensive roads in BS9?

Cote Road leads BS9 with an average sold price of £1,940,000, with Old Sneed Park at £1,737,000 and Mariners Drive at £1,564,042. All three sit in the Sneyd Park and Stoke Bishop area of north-west Bristol.

Which expensive Bristol street is in BS20?

Cadbury Camp Lane in Clapton in Gordano is the only BS20 street in the top ten. Its 14 qualifying sales average £1,630,811, placing it eighth overall and making it the best-evidenced average on the page.

Why isn't Seawalls Road in the top 10?

Seawalls Road, the street named in several recent news rankings, does not reach the top ten on this window and method: tenth place required an average of £1,551,000 across at least two qualifying sales, and Seawalls Road's sales in this window do not clear that bar.

Why do villages like Abbots Leigh and Backwell count as Bristol?

Because the ranking uses the Bristol postal town, not the council boundary. Any address whose Land Registry postal town is Bristol is in scope, which brings in villages such as Abbots Leigh, Leigh Woods, Clapton in Gordano and Backwell. It also means parts of the wider area that use a different postal town are not counted here.

How often is this data updated?

HM Land Registry publishes price paid data monthly, with individual sales recorded back to 1995. We refresh our research against the newest release on a regular cycle and date-stamp each article, so you can see when it was last updated. The content and house price data on this page were updated in July 2026, using sales recorded to May 2026.

Are these prices for residential properties only?

They are. The figures cover detached, semi-detached and terraced houses plus flats and maisonettes, bought freehold or leasehold, and new-build sales are included alongside existing homes. We filter for Category A (standard residential) transactions, which excludes portfolio sales, transfers between companies, and other non-standard transactions that can distort average prices.

Can I access the full list of sold transactions for every street?

Yes. You can get the full property sales transaction data directly from HM Land Registry here.

Does this property data include ALL sales?

It includes the 81,204 standard residential (Category A) sales recorded with a street name at HM Land Registry for the Bristol postal town between January 2020 and May 2026; 149 further qualifying sales carry no street name in the register and cannot enter a street ranking. Most residential sales in England and Wales are lodged for registration and recorded at HM Land Registry, though the price paid data covers qualifying transactions only.
