15 Commonside, Keston, BR2 6BP
About 15 Commonside
15 Commonside is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Keston (BR2 6BP). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 824 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The property has an EV charger on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (June 2010) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from June 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since October 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £494,000 sits 110.2% above the 2009 sale of £235,000. At 77 m² it sits well below the postcode median (174 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2022.
