A STREET in Poole has been named one of the most expensive in the country.

Among a list of the top 20 most costly places to buy a property, included is Panorama Road in Sandbanks.

Grosvenor Crescent, nestled in the heart of London's Belgravia, has been identified as the country's most expensive street.

The analysis found a typical property in Grosvenor Crescent, located near to Hyde Park, Buckingham Palace and the shops of Knightsbridge, will cost buyers close to £17 million - at an average price of £16,918,000.

Lloyds Bank, which looked at property sales across England and Wales to make the findings, said Belgravia has long attracted wealthy buyers to the area due to its graceful white stucco residences, sweeping crescents and private garden squares.

Andrew Mason, mortgage products director at Lloyds Bank, said: "Away from London, the survey shows that the most expensive streets are tightly clustered within Cheshire, Yorkshire and the Humber and Sandbanks in Dorset on the south coast."

Lloyds used Land Registry sales figures to make the findings.
