Overview

About 12 Brakespear Close

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

12 Brakespear Close is a six-bedroom detached house in Durham (DH1 4BF). It has a recorded floor area of 150 m² (around 1615 sq ft) and council tax band F. The latest certificate (December 2013) returns a high B (score 85), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views and a self-contained annexe. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a corner plot.

Today's modelled estimate of £616,000 sits 54% above the 2013 sale of £399,995. 4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works, a garage conversion, an annexe and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in December 2013, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
