About Hill House
Hill House is a detached house in Sturminster Newton (DT10 1BZ). It has a recorded floor area of 157 m² (around 1689 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since October 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £543,000 sits 302.2% above the 1996 sale of £135,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£80/sq ft) was about 55% below the postcode norm. 4 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 157 m² it's 28.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (123 m² median across 12 EPCs).
