Overview

About The Old Forge

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

The Old Forge is a four-bedroom detached house in Averham, Newark, Newark (NG23 5RD). It has a recorded floor area of 215 m² (around 2314 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows a G (score 13), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 55), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 215 m² it's 22.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (175 m² median across 8 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £505,000 sits 65% above the 2017 sale of £306,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£132/sq ft) was about 24.6% below the postcode norm. Last sold in February 2017, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused.
