About 20 The Front
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
20 The Front is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Middleton One Row, Darlington, Darlington (DL2 1AS). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1227 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows an F (score 29), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views.
Today's modelled estimate of £320,000 sits 67.5% above the 2017 sale of £191,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£156/sq ft) was about 32.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 5 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, partial demolition and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 114 m² it's 20.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (143 m² median across 17 EPCs).

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 20 The Front is modelled from its 114 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in DL2 1AS. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 20 The Front. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 20 The Front was lodged in April 2014 at band F and expired in April 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 5 applications are matched to 20 The Front. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 1 school and 25 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DL2 1AS, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 20 The Front is in council tax band F. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
