About 30 Chester Crescent
30 Chester Crescent is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in West Cornforth, Ferryhill, Ferryhill (DL17 9PD). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80).

Held since September 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm.
