How Cherwell Road, Heathfield prices moved
The chart tracks the median Cherwell Road, Heathfield house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1997 to 2018. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 1 | £47,250 | £104,917 |
| 2000s | 6 | £117,525 | £214,096 |
| 2010s | 4 | £143,000 | £201,630 |
The highest yearly median on record for Cherwell Road, Heathfield is £238,000 in 2018; the lowest is £47,250 in 1997. Across the full 22-year record the cash median has moved from £47,250 to £238,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £100,184, so the real change over the whole record is +216.6% — about +5.64% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +84.5% in cash against +46.5% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Cherwell Road, Heathfield is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flat or maisonette | 88 | 68.2% | £107,500 | £15,250 – £215,000 |
| Detached | 29 | 22.5% | £280,000 | £84,000 – £520,000 |
| Semi-detached | 12 | 9.3% | £232,500 | £120,000 – £550,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Cherwell Road, Heathfield
88 of the sales on record are leasehold and 41 freehold — 68.2% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
The median leasehold sale is £108,750 and the median freehold sale £262,500 — a gap of +141.4%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 88 | 68.2% | £108,750 |
| Freehold | 41 | 31.8% | £262,500 |
| New build | 15 | 11.6% | £69,000 |
| Existing home | 114 | 88.4% | £139,975 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -50.7%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.
Section 09
How Cherwell Road, Heathfield compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Cherwell Road, Heathfield sits below that national figure — -17.5%.
Within Heathfield the street ranks 221 of 242 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £220,000 (-40.9%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,611 per square metre, across 24 of the 129 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.
The full range on record runs from £15,250 to £550,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.

When were Cherwell Road, Heathfield house prices at their highest?

£2,611 per square metre, from the 24 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.

The latest sale shown here completed on 24 Feb 2026. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
