About 16 Barwood Avenue
16 Barwood Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in West Wickham (BR4 0LB). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2018) shows a C (score 72). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 82).
Held since January 2008 — that's 18 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 108 m² the property is well over the postcode median (66 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £591,000 sits 100.3% above the 2008 sale of £295,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
