About 15 Birkdale Gardens
15 Birkdale Gardens is a four-bedroom detached house in Durham (DH1 2UJ). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a corner plot.
One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 127 m² it's 25.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (101 m² median across 33 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £333,000 is 28.1% above the 2017 sale price.
