9 Lancaster Close, Etherley Dene, Bishop Auckland, DL14 0RP

9 Lancaster Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Etherley Dene, Bishop Auckland, Bishop Auckland (DL14 0RP). It has a recorded floor area of 189 m² (around 2034 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2020) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.

It hasn't traded since September 1998, a hold of 28 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 189 m² the property is well over the postcode median (80 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £321,000 sits 365.2% above the 1998 sale of £69,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£34/sq ft) was about 74.3% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2009. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
