About 7 Bluebell Close
7 Bluebell Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Etherley Dene, Bishop Auckland, Bishop Auckland (DL14 0TL). It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1356 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2017) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
It hasn't traded since December 1997, 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. Today's modelled estimate of £291,000 sits 227% above the 1997 sale of £88,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£66/sq ft) was about 21.4% below the postcode norm. At 126 m² it's 18.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (107 m² median across 3 EPCs).
