3 Alderley Drive is a four-bedroom detached house in Newcastle Upon Tyne (NE12 6FS). It has a recorded floor area of 144 m² (around 1550 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2011) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it C (August 2010); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60).

Held since August 2005 — that's 21 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 144 m² the property is well over the postcode median (81 m² across 33 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £359,000 is 43.6% above the 2005 sale price.
