Overview

About 1 Birchvale Court

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

1 Birchvale Court is a three-bedroom detached house in Desborough, Kettering, Kettering (NN14 2UY). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1141 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 106 m² the property is well over the postcode median (68 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Last sold in April 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. Today's modelled estimate of £301,000 is 42.7% above the 2016 sale price.
