Overview

About High Meadows

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

High Meadows is a five-bedroom detached house in High Shincliffe, Durham, Durham (DH1 2PQ). It has a recorded floor area of 153 m² (around 1648 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 57). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since October 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 153 m² the property is well over the postcode median (103 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £430,000 is 41% above the 2009 sale price. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2008.
