Overview

About 7 Fern Lea

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

7 Fern Lea is a three-bedroom detached house in Shirland, Alfreton, Alfreton (DE55 6EP). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 72 m² it's 28.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (56 m² median across 8 EPCs). Across 1997–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.3% per year.

One planning record on file: a garage conversion refused in 2019.
