About Darwin House
Darwin House is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Beckenham (BR3 1AU). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007 onwards and council tax band E. At 76 m² this is the 5th smallest of 11 units on EPC record in Darwin House, where floor areas span 60–138 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to B across 11 units on file. The latest certificate (August 2017) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). Main heating runs on electricity.
Held since August 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £375,000 is 25% above the 2007 sale price.
