Overview

About 12 Bridge Road

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

12 Bridge Road is a semi-detached house in Desborough, Kettering, Kettering (NN14 2LF). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1270 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 118 m² the property is well over the postcode median (87 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £242,000 sits 59.2% above the 2015 sale of £152,000. Last sold in May 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
