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 £114,000 is 39% above the 2007 sale price.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 20 Cherry Close is modelled from its 45 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NN3 2TQ. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 20 Cherry Close. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 20 Cherry Close was lodged in February 2024 at band D and is valid until February 2034. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 20 Cherry Close. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 30 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NN3 2TQ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 20 Cherry Close is in council tax band A. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
