Overview

About 26 High Street

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

26 High Street is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Potterspury, Towcester, Towcester (NN12 7PQ). It has a recorded floor area of 269 m² (around 2895 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (December 2012) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 269 m² the property is well over the postcode median (88 m² across 28 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £887,000 is 31.4% above the 2013 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£233/sq ft) was about 18.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last changed hands 13 years ago, in November 2013. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2016.
