About 17 Darwin Street
17 Darwin Street is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Northwich (CW8 1BT). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2019) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since November 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £243,000 sits 184.2% above the 2009 sale of £85,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£67/sq ft) was about 40% below the postcode norm.
