About 17 William Close
17 William Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Watton, Thetford, Thetford (IP25 6BP). It has a recorded floor area of 91 m² (around 980 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in June 2013 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 91 m² the property is well over the postcode median (58 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £262,000 sits 54.1% above the 2014 sale of £170,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£174/sq ft) was about 32.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in July 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
