About 4 Brownlow Road
4 Brownlow Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Croydon (CR0 5JT). It has a recorded floor area of 158 m² (around 1701 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 58). The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.
Held since September 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 158 m² the property is well over the postcode median (106 m² across 36 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £791,000 sits 182.5% above the 1997 sale of £280,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£165/sq ft) was about 37.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
