17a, Cross Street, Windermere, LA23 1AE
About 17a
17a is a mid-terrace house in Windermere (LA23 1AE). It has a recorded floor area of 164 m² (around 1768 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2011) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from September 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since March 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 164 m² the property is well over the postcode median (83 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £428,000 sits 74.7% above the 2007 sale of £245,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£139/sq ft) was about 22.3% below the postcode norm.
