About 1 Ridley Gardens
1 Ridley Gardens is an end-of-terrace house in Swalwell, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Newcastle Upon Tyne (NE16 3HT). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 624 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. At 58 m² this is the 40th smallest of 68 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 43–122 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in July 2015 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
It hasn't traded since August 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £124,000 sits 65.3% above the 2007 sale of £75,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£120/sq ft) was about 44.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
