Overview

About 6 Thropton Close

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

6 Thropton Close is a three-bedroom detached house in High Shincliffe, Durham, Durham (DH1 2QA). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 82 m² it sits well below the postcode median (137 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £280,000 is 33.3% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£238/sq ft) was about 40.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in June 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
