Old Wood House, Windlestone Park, Windlestone, Ferryhill, DL17 0NF

Old Wood House is a detached house in Windlestone, Ferryhill, Ferryhill (DL17 0NF). It has a recorded floor area of 330 m² (around 3552 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 2007 onwards. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in June 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Very Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Good. Main heating runs on bulk wood pellets. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 330 m² the property is well over the postcode median (166 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £717,000 sits 50.9% above the 2009 sale of £475,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£134/sq ft) was about 41.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
