The street in brief

Birch Road is a street almost entirely of flats, and every recorded sale is in one building, Bluebell Apartments. Homes here typically change hands around £190,000 — roughly 31% below the LU1 norm. Recent sales are too thin to call a trend for the street itself; LU1 prices as a whole have been easing. With 13 sales across 13 homes since 2021, the street turns over frequently.
