Overview

About 1 Central Avenue

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

1 Central Avenue is a semi-detached house in Kettering (NN16 0LB). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (October 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Last sale on file: £200,000 in August 2023. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension and subdivision, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 119 m² it's 28.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (93 m² median across 12 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
