Overview

About 2 Kirkstone Drive

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

2 Kirkstone Drive is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Durham (DH1 1AH). It has a recorded floor area of 130 m² (around 1396 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Held since August 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 130 m² the property is well over the postcode median (99 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £221,000 is 27% above the 2009 sale price.
