About 6 Castle Bank
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
6 Castle Bank is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Braybrooke, Market Harborough, Market Harborough (LE16 8LE). It has a recorded floor area of 166 m² (around 1787 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2018) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since May 2009. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Held since August 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 166 m² the property is well over the postcode median (74 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £457,000 sits 109.6% above the 2009 sale of £218,000. One planning record on file: a garage conversion approved in 2011. Past consents include a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
