About Birkhead

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Birkhead is a property in Troutbeck, Windermere, Windermere (LA23 1PQ). It has a recorded floor area of 171 m² (around 1841 sq ft) and council tax band F. At 171 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across Birkhead (59–171 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to D, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (33 versus a best of 64). The latest certificate (December 2015) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 171 m² the property is well over the postcode median (70 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). 7 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an annexe and subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £570,000 is 14% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£272/sq ft) was about 35.8% below the postcode norm. Last sold in December 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
