1 Marlin, Dosthill, Tamworth, B77 1LW
About 1 Marlin
1 Marlin is a four-bedroom detached house in Dosthill, Tamworth, Tamworth (B77 1LW). It has a recorded floor area of 199 m² (around 2142 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
It hasn't traded since December 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 199 m² the property is well over the postcode median (78 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £424,000 sits 1222.4% above the 1998 sale of £32,062. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£15/sq ft) was about 92.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
