About Kites Nest
Kites Nest is a five-bedroom detached house in Blakeney (GL15 4BA). It has a recorded floor area of 205 m² (around 2207 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position. The latest certificate (December 2023) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since June 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while main heating dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 91), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.
It hasn't traded since June 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. 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 £749,000 sits 330.5% above the 1997 sale of £174,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 2 refused. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count.
