The street in brief

Kensington Drive is mostly semi-detached houses. The median sale price is £308,500, about 45% below the typical IG8 sale. Per square metre of floor space it comes to about £5,090, below the district's £5,817. Too few recent sales to read a street-level trend, but across IG8 prices have been easing over the last few years. HM Land Registry records 76 sales across 53 homes since 2001 — homes here come up rarely.
