Overview

About 5 Birchwood Lane

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

5 Birchwood Lane is a two-bedroom detached house in South Normanton, Alfreton, Alfreton (DE55 3DA). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Period features are noted in the property record.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£195/sq ft) was about 83.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
