10 Shortedge, Sturminster Newton, DT10 1AD

10 Shortedge is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Sturminster Newton (DT10 1AD). It has a recorded floor area of 122 m² (around 1313 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 84). The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since August 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 122 m² the property is well over the postcode median (82 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £281,000 sits 51.9% above the 2007 sale of £185,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£141/sq ft) was about 32.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
