A Leicestershire road has been named as the most expensive places to live in the UK.
According to analysis of average house prices of England and Wales’ streets, Benscliffe Road, near Bradgate Park and Woodhouse Eaves, is the most expensive road to live on in the entire East Midlands region, and is one of the most expensive roads outside of London.
There are only a handful of properties on the road, which stretches between Bradgate Park’s Hunts Hill and the junction with Shepshed Road, but it was enough to become the region’s most expensive street.

It also beats the most expensive streets in Wales, the North and North East of England, and Yorkshire and the Humber.
