Most Expensive Streets in Coventry: New Top 10

Coventry's most expensive street is Cryfield Grange Road in CV4, which averages £1,425,000 across the two standard residential sales HM Land Registry has recorded there since January 2020. Two sales is the bare minimum this ranking accepts, and both of them completed inside a five-week stretch of autumn 2020, so the figure at the top of this page rests on the thinnest evidence base the rules allow. The highest price paid for a single home is a different matter entirely: £3,250,000 for a detached house on Church Lane in Meriden.

Almost everything at the top of this market sits out on the city's western side. Five of the ten ranked streets carry CV7 village addresses, in Berkswell, Meriden and Balsall Common, and three more share CV4 on the south-western edge, where the register lists them without any village name at all. Allesley, north-west of the centre, and Bubbenhall, the lone entry to the south-east, complete the set. Nothing in the city centre makes the table.

Article published: August 2026.

The numbers come from HM Land Registry's latest price paid data release for the Coventry postal town: 27,754 standard residential sales carrying a street name, completed between January 2020 and June 2026. Group those sales by street and you get 3,118 named streets. Of those, 2,730 cleared the two-sale bar a ranked average requires, while the 388 streets that sold just once sit outside the ranking however large their one sale was. Sale counts are printed beside every average in the tables below: a street that sold twice and a street that sold eight times are making very different claims about themselves, and the count is what lets you weigh one against the other. For the earning side of the market, rents, yields and entry prices, our Coventry buy-to-let guide covers the same city district by district.

Top 10 Most Expensive Streets in Coventry

Date range: 1st January 2020 to 30th June 2026. Based on the latest Land Registry price paid data at the time of research. Standard residential sales only (Category A): detached, semi-detached and terraced houses plus flats and maisonettes, bought freehold or leasehold.

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

Read down the postcode column and one district does half the work. CV7 supplies five of the ten rows, split between Berkswell, Meriden and Balsall Common. The three CV4 entries, Cryfield Grange Road, Gibbet Hill Road and Cryfield Heights, cluster so tightly on the city's south-western edge that their map pins sit within a few hundred metres of each other. Allesley Grove and Weston Lane finish the list from opposite sides of the city. Samples run from two sales up to Gibbet Hill Road's eight, and the profiles below weigh each average against the transactions behind it.

Cryfield Grange Road

The whole case for first place is two register entries from the autumn of 2020: £1,975,000 in September, £875,000 in October. That leaves £1,100,000 of clear air between the only two sales the street has recorded in six and a half years, with the £1,425,000 average floating in the gap. Nothing on Cryfield Grange Road has reached the register since. Two things are solid, though. The September 2020 sale is the biggest transaction on any ranked Coventry street in this window, and it is also the oldest street record in this top ten. Streets like this are the reason each table on this page prints a count next to its averages: at the very top of this market the dearest streets barely trade, and a thin record is simply what the register holds.

Baulk Lane and Spencers Lane: the Berkswell pair

Berkswell places two streets in the top three. Baulk Lane runs second on the minimum two sales, though its pair sit far closer together than the leader's: £1,500,000 in July 2024, then £1,150,000 in October 2025, both recent, £350,000 apart. Spencers Lane carries twice the evidence and much more turbulence. Its four sales span £595,000 to £1,925,000, the widest price range on any ranked street, and the big number arrived last, in February 2025, the second-largest transaction anywhere in this table. In between came £1,287,500 in June 2021 and £1,000,000 in March 2023. An average of £1,201,875 with £1,330,000 separating the cheapest and dearest sales describes a lane that deals in one-offs rather than a going rate.

Allesley Grove, Allesley

Every piece of Allesley Grove's evidence is new. Its three qualifying sales all completed during 2025: £1,250,000 in March, £1,010,000 in September, £1,175,000 in December, with the register grouping all three in the same 1 to 9 numbering band. Three seven-figure sales inside ten months earns the street fourth place at £1,145,000, and it shares a distinction with Baulk Lane: these are the only two ranked streets never to have recorded a qualifying sale below £1 million.

Kinwalsey Lane and Leymere Close: the Meriden pair

Meriden's two entries sit fifth and tenth. Kinwalsey Lane qualifies on a pair of sales two years apart that barely look like the same street: £625,000 in September 2020, £1,500,000 in September 2022. The £1,062,500 average splits that £875,000 difference down the middle. Leymere Close is the street still writing its record. It logged £855,000 in November 2023 and £865,000 in December 2025, then £1,050,000 in March 2026, the most recent qualifying sale anywhere in this ranking, and the sale that lifted its average to the £923,333 that sets this table's cut line.

Hob Lane, Balsall Common

Hob Lane compressed its whole ranked record into 2024, and two thirds of it into a single day. A £1,550,000 sale in July set the street's high mark; then on 27th September the register logged two separate transactions, £762,500 and £800,000. Same-day pairs appear in the register as distinct entries and they are counted here exactly as recorded. The three together average £1,037,500, a figure none of the three sales actually changed hands at.

Gibbet Hill Road and Cryfield Heights: the university side

No ranked street offers more evidence than Gibbet Hill Road: eight sales, every one of them between £850,000 and £1,200,000. One entry deserves a plain description: the register shows two sales at exactly £1,200,000 on the same day in July 2023, both in the same 20 to 29 numbering band. HM Land Registry lists them as separate entries, and both are counted here. HM Land Registry states no locality for Gibbet Hill Road, or for Cryfield Grange Road and Cryfield Heights nearby, so all three appear in these tables under street name alone. Cryfield Heights takes eighth on three sales: £1,170,000 in March 2022, then £1,000,000 and £905,000 in May and June 2025.

Weston Lane, Bubbenhall

Weston Lane's two sales are the closest match in the table: £945,000 in November 2020 and £1,052,500 in January 2023 sit just £107,500 apart, the narrowest gap between any ranked street's cheapest and dearest sales. The £998,750 average lands £1,250 short of seven figures, which makes rows nine and ten the point where Coventry's top ten dips below a £1 million average. That is the shape of this market's summit: ten streets clear £923,333, and none of the other 2,720 eligible streets got that far.

Coventry's Highest Individual Property Sales

Published August 2026

Date range: 1st January 2020 to 30th June 2026. Based on the latest Land Registry price paid data at the time of research.

Church Lane in Meriden produced the biggest standard residential sale in the whole Coventry extract: £3,250,000, a detached freehold house, October 2024. Yet Church Lane appears nowhere in the ranked table, and the register shows why. That transaction is the street's only qualifying sale of the entire window, and one sale cannot form an average under the two-sale rule. Among the ranked ten, the top transaction is Cryfield Grange Road's £1,975,000 from September 2020, which leaves a £1,275,000 gap between the city record and the best any ranked street managed. Behind it sit Spencers Lane's £1,925,000 and Hob Lane's £1,550,000, and then a tie: Baulk Lane in July 2024 and Kinwalsey Lane in September 2022 each peaked at exactly £1,500,000.

Note: This table shows each ranked street's single biggest standard residential (Category A) sale in the window, ordered by price.

Five of these ten street records were set in July 2024 or later: Hob Lane and Baulk Lane that month, Spencers Lane and Allesley Grove in early 2025, Leymere Close in March 2026. Yet the table's summit is also its oldest entry, because no sale on any ranked street has beaten Cryfield Grange Road's £1,975,000 since it completed in September 2020. The one-sale streets the ranking excludes tell their own version of the same story: of the 388 of them, four recorded transactions large enough to sit in this table. Church Lane's record leads them, followed by £1,700,000 on Kenilworth Road in CV4 in November 2023, £1,450,000 on Warwick Road in Stoneleigh in September 2024, and £1,075,000 on Bow Lane in Withybrook in January 2022. Each of those streets sold once, so none of them could rank.

Coventry's Record Streets: Total Value of Property Sales

Published August 2026

Date range: 1st January 2020 to 30th June 2026. Based on the latest Land Registry price paid data at the time of research.

There is a third way to read these ten streets: add up everything each one put through the register. Do that, and the order rearranges almost completely, because volume starts to matter as much as price.

Note: Totals sum every qualifying standard residential (Category A) sale recorded on each ranked street in the period. One street outside this ranking, Broad Lane, put more money through the register than any row here.

Buyers moved £35,087,500 through these ten streets across 32 sales in six and a half years, and Gibbet Hill Road's eight transactions account for nearly a quarter of it. The street the whole table cannot touch is Broad Lane in CV5, for which the register states no locality: 119 qualifying sales worth £39,421,000, more money than all ten ranked streets combined. Its average works out at roughly £331,000 a sale, just over a third of the table's £923,333 cut line, so a ranking built on averages was never going to hold it. Eight of these ten streets sold just two or three times in six and a half years; Broad Lane sold 119 times. That difference is the whole answer.

The Top 10 Mapped

The interactive map will load as it approaches the viewport.

Each street's pin sits at the full postcode that recorded the largest share of its qualifying sales, ties going to the most recent sale, and every postcode is plotted at its official ONS coordinates. Numbered by rank, the pins make the geography plain. Nine of the ten lie in an arc on the city's western side, from Kinwalsey Lane, Leymere Close and Allesley Grove in the north-west, through Baulk Lane, Spencers Lane and Hob Lane due west, to the three CV4 streets packed close together in the south-west. Weston Lane in Bubbenhall is the one exception, alone in the south-east.

Where Do Coventry's Wealthy Actually Live?

Measured by sold prices, the most expensive area to live in Coventry splits into two edges. The first is the CV7 village belt: Berkswell, Meriden and Balsall Common hold five of the ten highest street averages between them. The second is the CV4 corner on the city's south-western edge, where Cryfield Grange Road, Gibbet Hill Road and Cryfield Heights stack three ranked streets into one small patch of the district. Ask the register about the posh areas in Coventry and it returns the same two answers, then adds Allesley, whose Allesley Grove put three seven-figure sales through in 2025 alone, and Bubbenhall in the south-east.

A millionaires' row is a nickname, and the register holds two contenders for it. Cryfield Grange Road owns the highest average. Gibbet Hill Road has put more sales past £1 million than anywhere else in the table, five of its eight. The University of Warwick's Gibbet Hill campus, home of its School of Life Sciences, gives its address as Coventry CV4, and the university's own travel directions for the campus bring drivers in along Gibbet Hill Road itself. Take your pick between them; the register can only speak for what changed hands.

There is a catch in calling much of this "Coventry" at all, and the register itself settles it. Its council-district column books Baulk Lane, Spencers Lane, Hob Lane and Leymere Close to Solihull, splits Kinwalsey Lane's two sales between Solihull and North Warwickshire, and books Weston Lane to Warwick district; Solihull Metropolitan Borough's own history names Balsall, Berkswell and Meriden among its civil parishes, and Bubbenhall's parish council is registered with Warwick District Council in Warwickshire. What the district column gives back, though, is the city's own claim to the summit: Cryfield Grange Road, Allesley Grove, Gibbet Hill Road and Cryfield Heights, the No. 1 street among them, book every sale to the City of Coventry itself. Coventry addresses, six of them under neighbouring councils, four genuinely the city's own.

The suburbs Coventry residents might expect to see here tell their own story. Earlsdon, Styvechale and Finham all appear in the register in volume, and none of their streets comes near this table: their best averages on two or more qualifying sales in the window are Armorial Road in Styvechale at £679,227, Cotswold Drive in Finham at £484,803 and Myrtle Grove in Earlsdon at £430,150, each a long way under the £923,333 cut line. Kenilworth Road splits across the register rather than ranking: its CV4 stretch logged exactly one qualifying sale, the £1,700,000 of November 2023 noted above, which the two-sale rule cannot count, and its CV3 run averaged £703,755 over three sales.

Keep in mind what these figures are and are not. Prices paid by buyers who happened to complete a purchase, nothing else; a road where nobody sold stays invisible however grand it looks from the pavement. These tables also describe the market's ceiling rather than its everyday floor.

How to Find the Most Expensive Streets in Coventry

No part of this analysis needs special access. The register is public, and the whole exercise can be repeated:

1. Open the HM Land Registry price paid data search.
2. Put Coventry in the town or city field, remembering what that field is: the postal town, which sweeps in Berkswell, Meriden, Balsall Common, Bubbenhall and other villages well beyond the city council's area.
3. Tick the four residential property types, detached, semi-detached, terraced and flat/maisonette, and leave "other" unticked, since it is not a residential category.
4. Set the dates. This analysis used 1st January 2020 to 30th June 2026.
5. Download everything, group the sales street by street, then average each street and apply a two-sale floor, so a lone transaction cannot carry a street into the list.

Note: Check for duplicated rows before averaging. The screen used here removes only rows identical in every field, and it removed none from the Coventry download; the same-price, same-day pair on Gibbet Hill Road survives it because the underlying entries differ. On a two-sale street a single miscounted duplicate would rewrite the average, so the check matters most exactly where the evidence is thinnest.

Run the same steps on an earlier window and the table changes underneath you. Spencers Lane only took its £1,925,000 record in February 2025, Allesley Grove's entire evidence base arrived during 2025, and the most recent sale in the ranking, Leymere Close's £1,050,000, completed in March 2026. A list compiled in 2024 could not have counted any of that. What is printed here is the register as it stood at the end of June 2026, no further.

The register has a use at the investor end of the market too. The completed-sale record is what gives below market value properties their meaning: a discount claim can be tested against what genuinely changed hands. And when the question is what can actually be bought at investor price points today, our buy to let property for sale page holds the current listings.
