About 11 Charles Drive
11 Charles Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Thame (OX9 3XU). It has a recorded floor area of 158 m² (around 1701 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F.

Held since November 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 158 m² the property is well over the postcode median (93 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1996–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £708,000 sits 62.8% above the 2007 sale of £435,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£256/sq ft) was about 18% below the postcode norm.
