Overview

About 21 Chestnut Drive

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

21 Chestnut Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Darlington (DL1 4RR). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The latest certificate (March 2026) shows a C (score 73). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2003–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £159,000 is 29.8% above the 2007 sale price.
