About 2 Colesburg Road
2 Colesburg Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Beckenham (BR3 4HP). It has a recorded floor area of 146 m² (around 1572 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2021) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Other recorded features include outbuildings.
Held since June 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 146 m² the property is well over the postcode median (91 m² across 36 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £859,000 sits 135.3% above the 2007 sale of £365,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£232/sq ft) was about 36.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
