Overview

About 4 Gorse Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

4 Gorse Road is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Blackburn (BB2 6LY). It has a recorded floor area of 130 m² (around 1404 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2009) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 55), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 130 m² it sits well below the postcode median (203 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs). 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £220,000 is 41.9% above the 2010 sale price.
