Overview

About 21 Birchfield Road

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

21 Birchfield Road is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Northampton (NN1 4RF). It has a recorded floor area of 192 m² (around 2067 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2017) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump.

It hasn't traded since June 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. At 192 m² the property is well over the postcode median (130 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 14% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £343,000 is 19.7% above the 2007 sale price.
