About 8 Gale Park
8 Gale Park is a detached house in Ambleside (LA22 0BN). It has a recorded floor area of 85 m² (around 916 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a C (score 72). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in June 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1997–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £440,000 sits 54.4% above the 2009 sale of £285,000. At 85 m² it sits well below the postcode median (123 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
