Overview

About 38 The Front

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

38 The Front is a three-bedroom detached house in Middleton One Row, Darlington, Darlington (DL2 1AU). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1238 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2011 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Average, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 115 m² it sits well below the postcode median (169 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £367,000 is 46.8% above the 2013 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£202/sq ft) was about 16.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in May 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
