About 1 Library Close
1 Library Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Lepton, Huddersfield, Huddersfield (HD8 0BT). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 654 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
Held since May 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 61 m² it sits well below the postcode median (124 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £283,000 is 47.4% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£293/sq ft) was about 103.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
