How Ricketts Hill Road, Westerham prices moved
The chart tracks the median Ricketts Hill Road, Westerham house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1997 to 2015. 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 | £163,750 | £363,602 |
| 2000s | 1 | £420,000 | £765,116 |
| 2010s | 1 | £870,000 | £1,226,700 |
The highest yearly median on record for Ricketts Hill Road, Westerham is £870,000 in 2015; the lowest is £163,750 in 1997. Across the full 19-year record the cash median has moved from £163,750 to £870,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £347,199, so the real change over the whole record is +253.3% — about +7.26% 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: +431.3% in cash against +253.3% 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.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Ricketts Hill Road, Westerham 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 77 | 100.0% | £540,000 | £72,000 – £1,200,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Ricketts Hill Road, Westerham
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 77 freehold — 0.0% 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.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 77 | 100.0% | £540,000 |
A further 3 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.
Section 09
How Ricketts Hill Road, Westerham compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Ricketts Hill Road, Westerham sits above that national figure — +242.9%.
Within Westerham the street ranks 30 of 255 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £265,000 (+103.8%).
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published here. An estimate would be a guess, and the archive does not publish guesses.
The full range on record runs from £72,000 to £1,200,000. 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.
