Bucks house prices: where does your town sit on a Monopoly board?

Last year, Hasbro launched a High Wycombe version of popular boardgame Monopoly with the original set’s famous London locations replaced by properties in High Wycombe. 

But the jury’s still out on if the famous retailer will bring out other versions focused on different areas of Bucks. 

While we wait, we decided to do some number crunching of our own. 

Using Rightmove and based on average house prices over the past 12 months, we've found out where 20 towns and villages in Bucks would sit on a Monopoly board.

See where your town ranks below:

Dark blues

The prize for most expensive town in Bucks goes to Beaconsfield, making it our Mayfair equivalent here in Bucks.

Home to the world’s oldest model village, and with amenities including a monthly farmer’s market, a National Nature Reserve and plenty of historic buildings, houses in Beaconsfield averaged a cool £1.2 million.

With high desirability that’s also due to its proximity to London, it clearly tops our property rankings, with an average sale price over the last year of £1,286,339.

Hot on the heels of Beaconsfield is Gerrards Cross, a South Bucks town also popular with commuters.

Sometimes dubbed a ‘mini Hollywood’, its past celebrity residents including Cilla Black. Gerrards Cross had an average house asking price of £1,126,037.

Greens

Next up were two villages, Chalfont St Giles and Chalfont St Peter, which are our equivalents to Bond Street and Regent Street, respectively.

Chalfont St Giles had an average house price of £1,123,718 according to Rightmove, while Chalfont St Peter clocked in just under at £931,430. Also squeezing into this bracket as a Regent Street equivalent is Amersham, with an average of £815,930.

Yellows

Our Bucks versions of the Monopoly board yellows – Piccadilly, Coventry Street and Leicester Square – are Marlow (£796,429), Great Missenden (£796,179) and Farnham Royal (£714,082).

Reds

Coming middle of the road in red is Stoke Poges, which, at £635,043 is our equivalent of Trafalgar Square.

Aston Clinton (£596,850) is our Fleet Street and Bourne End (£595,645) takes the place of The Strand. 

Oranges

In the oranges come Chesham (£568,408) and Iver (£546,342), taking the places of Vine Street and Bow Street on the classic board.

Pinks

In the pink spots, replacing Pall Mall, Whitehall and Northumberland Ave were Olney (£510,422), Princes Risborough (£502,613) and High Wycombe (£434,858).

Blues

Moving down the board are some of the bigger areas in Bucks, with Great Linford substituting Pentonville Road at an average property price of £410,379.

Also blue and replacing Angel of Islington on our regional board is Buckingham (£403,157).

Browns

Right down at the bottom are two of Bucks’ biggest towns, Milton Keynes and Aylesbury. With an average house price of £351,443, Milton Keynes becomes our equivalent of White Chapel Road.

And right at the bottom of our list, replacing Old Kent Road, is Aylesbury at £333,294.
