7 Avondale Crescent is a semi-detached house in Pontrhydyrun, Cwmbran, Cwmbran (NP44 1UA). It has a recorded floor area of 125 m² (around 1345 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D.

It hasn't traded since May 2008, a hold of 18 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. Sale prices here have outpaced England HPI: 10.9% per year against 0% for the wider region. Today's modelled estimate of £253,000 sits 53.3% above the 2008 sale of £165,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£123/sq ft) was about 34% below the postcode norm. At 125 m² the property is well over the postcode median (89 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
