About 1 Railway House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Railway House is a 17-bedroom detached house in Darlington (DL3 0BE). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2007-2011 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (April 2022) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (November 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in October 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £129,000 sits 51.8% above the 2008 sale of £85,000.
