2b is a three-bedroom detached house in Farndon, Newark, Newark (NG24 4TQ). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (September 2018) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since December 2013.

The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since March 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. Today's modelled estimate of £224,000 sits 267.2% above the 1997 sale of £61,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£74/sq ft) was about 48.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
