Overview

About 6 Bensley Close

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

6 Bensley Close is a detached house in Acle, Norwich, Norwich (NR13 3RD). It has a recorded floor area of 156 m² (around 1679 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2016) returns a B (score 83), comfortably above the UK average. When first surveyed in April 2013 the rating was C, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, lighting went from Average to Good and main heating went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 26 years, with the last transfer in May 2000. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. One planning application is currently pending a decision in 2026. At 156 m² the property is well over the postcode median (89 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £396,000 sits 355.2% above the 2000 sale of £87,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£52/sq ft) was about 83.2% below the postcode norm.
