if i am ever rich enough to buy a block of flats or a road, i am going to name it "The Larch", and then move in to the first property.

my address will then be "number one, the larch".

What you want is one of those roads that is pronounced differently from the way it is spelt.

Theobalds Road = pr. Tibbards
Charmondley - pr. Chumley (however there is a Chumleigh round here)

Chitty street appeals for some reason. I've seen it somewhere but forget where exactly.

there's a Catherine Street in leicester which is correctly pronounced kath-er-ryne.

Pollyhaugh (something close to 'polly-hall' but not quite, more glottal stop like, tends to be how it is pronounced) and Eynsford (ains-fudd) are places I have to spell out every time.

I've always found the names of where you currently live fairly amusing though, abigailb. :)

you should come up here again some time and laugh at the roadsigns ;)

Yes, indeed I should!
