About 1 Drinkwater Close
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Drinkwater Close is a two-bedroom detached house in Newport (NP20 3GL). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2014) returns a high B (score 88), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot.
It hasn't traded since November 2006, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £242,000 sits 115.1% above the 2006 sale of £112,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£166/sq ft) was about 19% below the postcode norm.
