Oak Mount, Gale Rigg, Ambleside, LA22 0AZ

Oak Mount is a detached house in Ambleside (LA22 0AZ). It has a recorded floor area of 163 m² (around 1755 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (October 2012) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). The latest certificate is from October 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since January 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. At 163 m² the property is well over the postcode median (106 m² across 10 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £634,000 sits 387.7% above the 1997 sale of £130,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£74/sq ft) was about 81.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
