Overview

About The Old School House

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

The Old School House is a three-bedroom detached house in Durham (DH1 2QW). It has a recorded floor area of 192 m² (around 2067 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The latest certificate (December 2024) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77).

Held since January 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £496,000 sits 232.9% above the 1998 sale of £149,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£72/sq ft) was about 58.1% below the postcode norm. 8 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs).
