The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Darlington local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 79 KENSINGTON GARDENS sales between July 2003 and April 2021 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the February 2007 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the April 2021 sale, where it rises to 8% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% above the HPI.

79 KENSINGTON GARDENS might now be worth an estimated £314,262.
This is based on house price inflation of 24.7%, between April 2021 and August 2025, for detached houses, in the Darlington local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).
