About Fiddlers Haven
Fiddlers Haven is a five-bedroom detached house in Bessingham, Norwich, Norwich (NR11 7JR). It has a recorded floor area of 301 m² (around 3240 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 301 m² the property is well over the postcode median (156 m² across 7 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 2004. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in February 2017 and unlisted since — roughly 9 years. Across 2004–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £799,000 is 18.7% above the 2017 sale price.
