The street in brief

Essex Street is a street almost entirely of flats. Homes here typically change hands around £1,785,000, much in line with the WC2R norm. Too few recent sales to read a street-level trend, but across WC2R prices have been easing over the last few years. The record shows 21 sales across 18 homes since 2016.
