2a, Cricket Ground Road, Norwich, NR1 3AZ
About 2a
2a is a semi-detached house in Norwich (NR1 3AZ). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. At 67 m² this is the 2nd smallest of 7 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 45–96 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (44 versus a best of 77). The latest certificate (April 2011) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 62). The latest certificate is from April 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 67 m² it's 16.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (81 m² median across 6 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs).

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£164/sq ft) was about 23.7% below the postcode norm. Most recent transfer: December 2021 at £118,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
