About 280 The Avenue
280 The Avenue is an end-of-terrace house in West Wickham (BR4 0ED). It has a recorded floor area of 149 m² (around 1604 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in March 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 149 m² the property is well over the postcode median (96 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 88% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £718,000 sits 135.4% above the 2007 sale of £305,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£190/sq ft) was about 48.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
