Overview

About 8 Abthorpe Avenue

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

8 Abthorpe Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Northampton (NN2 8NS). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2024) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump.

Held since January 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. Today's modelled estimate of £276,000 sits 78.1% above the 2008 sale of £155,000. At 99 m² it's 24.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (80 m² median across 6 EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2013.
