Overview

About 5 Cecil Road

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

5 Cecil Road is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Norwich (NR1 2QL). It has a recorded floor area of 175 m² (around 1884 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

At 175 m² the property is well over the postcode median (125 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension and an annexe, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1996–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £743,000 is 12.2% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£352/sq ft) was about 60.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: September 2021 at £662,500. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
