Overview

About 20 Cherry Close

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

20 Cherry Close is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Northampton (NN3 2TQ). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2024) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in July 2023 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good. Main heating runs on electricity. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. At 45 m² this is the 4th smallest of 48 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 44–107 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (61 versus a best of 81).

It hasn't traded since April 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £126,000 sits 53.7% above the 2007 sale of £82,000.
