Bridport and Lyme Regis News:

Property Solvers co-founder Ruban Selvanayagam said: “To keep the data less skewed, we only ranked the streets that had more than three sales.

"It’s therefore worth noting that, in recent years, a property on Puddletown sold for £3,175,000 and, at the other end of the market, there were properties that sold for £70,000 and under on Westham Road in Weymouth, Rhodes House in Coronation Road on Portland, and Cheap Street in Sherborne."

Fourth of the most-expensive street is Rhode Lane in Uplyme with five properties sold for an average house price of £962,000.

Fifth was Bradford Road in Sherborne with six properties sold for an average house price of £876,666.

Sixth was Stowell, also in Sherborne with three properties sold for an average house price of £860,000.

Seventh is Piddletrenthide with three properties sold for an average of £858,333.

Eighth is Fore Street in Evershot with four properties sold for an average of £856,250.

Ninth of the list is Church Street in Weymouth with five properties sold for an average of £856,000, while finishing tenth is Litton Cheney with three properties sold for an average of £844,000.
