About 5 Main Road
5 Main Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Duston, Northampton, Northampton (NN5 6JB). It has a recorded floor area of 186 m² (around 2002 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows an F (score 32), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 186 m² the property is well over the postcode median (139 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Across 1998–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £632,000 is 29% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£245/sq ft) was about 29.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in August 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
