About The Old Post Office
The Old Post Office is a detached house in Ludborough, Grimsby, Grimsby (DN36 5SJ). It has a recorded floor area of 186 m² (around 2002 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 66). Main heating runs on oil. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Held since May 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £458,000 sits 59.6% above the 2007 sale of £287,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£143/sq ft) was about 24.5% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 186 m² it's 28.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (145 m² median across 9 EPCs).
