About 52 Woodlands Road
52 Woodlands Road is a five-bedroom detached house in Irchester, Wellingborough, Wellingborough (NN29 7BU). It has a recorded floor area of 142 m² (around 1528 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (April 2026) returns a B (score 84), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in November 2013 the rating was C, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Other recorded features include notable views. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a corner plot.
Held since November 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time.
