House Prices in Broughton-In-Furness, Cumbria

# Broughton-In-Furness Property Market Summary

Broughton-In-Furness is a small South Lakeland market town where the property market has experienced considerable volatility in recent years. With 428 properties and an overall average price of £234,165, the area shows significant year-on-year fluctuations. Prices have generally trended upward from £263,796 in 2016 to a notable peak of £443,292 in 2022, though the limited sales volumes (particularly in recent years) mean individual high-value transactions can substantially influence annual averages. The 2025 data, showing £584,000 from just 8 sales, illustrates this volatility but may not yet represent a reliable trend.

The market saw its most active period between 2017 and 2021, with 30-46 sales annually, suggesting steady demand during this period. However, transaction volumes have declined sharply since 2022, with only 7-10 sales recorded in 2023-2024, which is typical for smaller rural communities. Broughton-In-Furness appeals to buyers seeking a quintessential Lake District location with a village atmosphere, offering a more affordable entry point compared to premium locations like Ambleside or Windermere, whilst still providing access to the stunning Duddon Valley and surrounding fells. The market here reflects the broader appeal of South Lakeland's rural properties, attracting both permanent residents and second-home buyers.
