- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 4 sales are recorded for Cherry Oast. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.

The latest one for Cherry Oast was lodged in February 2011 at band E and expired in February 2021, so a new one is needed to sell or let.
