18 Holmwood Grove is a six-bedroom mid-terrace house in Newcastle Upon Tyne (NE2 3DS). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1227 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B.

Held since May 1995 — that's 31 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 114 m² the property is well over the postcode median (82 m² across 27 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £290,000 sits 400% above the 1995 sale of £58,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£47/sq ft) was about 66.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2005. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
