18 Ash Drive, Kenilworth, CV8 2DQ
About 18 Ash Drive
18 Ash Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Kenilworth (CV8 2DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1019 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2009) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from September 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot and a cul-de-sac position.
It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2007–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £421,000 sits 61.9% above the 2009 sale of £260,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
