A street in Greater Manchester has topped the list of the most expensive places to live in the north west. The average price of a house on Broadway in Altrincham has been placed at over £3m.
The region's top five priciest spots include several areas known to be popular among Premier League stars.
The list includes two streets in Trafford - Broadway and nearby Barrow Lane, also in Altrincham - as well as two in Cheshire's Alderley Edge and one in Macclesfield, which falls under Cheshire East.

While buying a house on these streets may cost a pretty penny, the average house prices in the north pale in comparison to those in the south. An annual study by Halifax has revealed that Phillimore Gardens in the London borough of Kensington is the most expensive street in England and Wales, with the average house price there standing at close to a whopping £24 million.
Grosvenor Square in London’s Mayfair came second place, with an average house price of £23.5 million. Illchester Place, also near Holland Park, was placed third, with homes there costing £17.7 million on average.
While home buyers would need many millions to live in some of England’s most expensive streets, in the North East of England and the East Midlands they would need around one and-a-half million pounds typically to live in the priciest locations in these areas, Halifax found.
In the North East, Ramside Park in Durham took the top spot in the region for the street with the highest average house price (£1,553,000).
In the East Midlands, Warren Hill in Leicester (£1,615,000) is the most expensive street.
