I grew up not far from there. Poshest road in the locality, always referenced in terms of poshness/richness/aspiration. Local taste plus that wealth and there you are.
Definitely not the poshest or most expensive road in the locality. Ceiling price so far on Lady Byron has been around 1.5 million, whereas others not far away (imo in quieter, more appealing roads) properties regularly make between 2.5 to 5 million.
Rail and road links nearby have increased popularity with commuters, which is why, having grown up, here dh and I have been priced out of the area.
It’s brought money into the area, but at the same time, I feel has lost the sense of community it used to have. Not helped by the fact it’s been growing rapidly in size, with overpriced new-builds - and there a lot more to come under the local plan.
Still a nice place to live, but not for the same reasons as when I was growing up. We are lucky to still be here, given the increase in property prices. There’s absolutely no way we could ever afford to move up the next step of the ladder without moving out of the area.
