About 5a
5a is a four-bedroom detached house in Silverstone, Towcester, Towcester (NN12 8UA). It has a recorded floor area of 249 m² (around 2680 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (May 2022) shows a C (score 75), near the top of the C band. The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since May 2021.

Held since February 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 249 m² the property is well over the postcode median (157 m² across 24 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £764,000 is 31.7% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£216/sq ft) was about 17.9% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2023.
