2 The Fens is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Napton, Southam, Southam (CV47 8PA). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2024) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since December 2008. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since June 2000, a hold of 26 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. Today's modelled estimate of £244,000 sits 205% above the 2000 sale of £80,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£114/sq ft) was about 63.5% below the postcode norm. At 65 m² it sits well below the postcode median (169 m² across 12 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2012.
