Overview

About 7 Waters End

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

7 Waters End is a three-bedroom detached house in Gainford, Darlington, Darlington (DL2 3DU). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since November 2013. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 127 m² it's 23.4% larger than the typical home in the postcode (103 m² median across 9 EPCs). Last sold in March 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. Today's modelled estimate of £373,000 is 38.1% above the 2015 sale price.
