17 Kelvin Grove is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Newcastle Upon Tyne (NE2 1RL). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. Tenure is freehold. At 105 m² this is the 58th smallest of 68 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 56–120 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (July 2018) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since June 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 105 m² the property is well over the postcode median (66 m² across 67 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. Today's modelled estimate of £188,000 sits 317.8% above the 1997 sale of £45,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£40/sq ft) was about 73.6% below the postcode norm.
