About 3 Russell Street
3 Russell Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Kettering (NN16 0EL). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (June 2022) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since February 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since July 2002, a hold of 24 years that's notably long for the area. At 84 m² the property is well over the postcode median (52 m² across 53 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1998–2002, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £164,000 sits 173.6% above the 2002 sale of £59,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£66/sq ft) was about 50% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension and subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
