Overview

About 2 Blackthorn Road

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

2 Blackthorn Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Kenilworth (CV8 2DS). It has a recorded floor area of 177 m² (around 1905 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. Other recorded features include outbuildings.

Held since December 2008 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm.

Today's modelled estimate of £674,000 sits 126.6% above the 2008 sale of £297,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£156/sq ft) was about 46.2% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a conservatory, a loft conversion and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
