Helensburgh and Lomond’s highest and lowest-priced streets have been revealed - and the street at the top of the tree may come as something of a surprise.
Figures from Property Solvers show that, on average, the street that is home to the most expensive properties in the G84 postcode area is not one of Helensburgh's pretty tree-lined avenues - but Ferry Road in Rosneath.
Three homes have been sold on the Rosneath street since 2016, with an average price of £513,333.
It is worth noting, however, that the Ferry Road figure may be skewed by last year's sale of the Ferry Inn, which was put on the market for offers over £875,000.
Built in the Arts and Crafts style for one of Queen Victoria's daughters, Princess Louise, the Ferry Inn is one of only two buildings in Scotland designed by the renowned architect Edwin Lutyens (later Sir Edwin) - and the sale last year included around 250 metres of the Gareloch shoreline and the shingle beach in front.
Ferry Road was followed by Torwoodhill Road in Rhu, with seven homes sold for an average price of £504,648.
Rhu itself came third with an average selling price of £498,333, calculated from the sale of three properties.
The most expensive street in Helensburgh itself was Kidston Drive, where three properties sold for an average price of £496,833.
Lower Sutherland Crescent, Ferniegair Avenue, East Clyde Street and East Lennox Drive also appeared on the list of most expensive streets, as did Station Road in Rhu and Queen’s Point in Shandon.
At the other end of the price scale, Princes Court topped the list of least expensive streetsin the G84 postcode area.
It also topped the list for the number of sales over the period, with 22 properties sold at an average price of £43,045.
A total of 22 homes were sold, averaging £43,045 each.
Sinclair Street in Helensburgh came second, with five properties selling for an average price of £46,252.
In Kilcreggan, five homes at Sunnyside Cottages were sold at an average cost of £47,200.
Williamson Drive, Old Luss Road, Grant Street, East Princes Street, and West Princes Street were also listed as some of the area’s least expensive streets.
Ruban Selvanayagam, co-founder of Property Solvers (propertysolvers.co.uk), said: “To keep the data less skewed, we only ranked the streets that had over three sales.
“It’s therefore worth noting that, in recent years, a property on Upper Colquhoun Street sold for £770,000 and, at the other end of the market, there were properties that sold for £37,000 and under on Mossend Place, Broom Road [in Rosneath] and Upland Road [in Garelochhead].”
