The street in brief

Kensington Drive is mostly semi-detached houses. Homes here typically change hands around £161,500 — roughly 28% below the BL8 norm. Per square metre of floor space it comes to about £2,514, in line with the district's £2,556. Recent sales are too thin to call a trend for the street itself; BL8 prices as a whole have been rising. With 22 sales across 13 homes since 2000, homes here come to market only rarely.
