About 7 Council Houses
7 Council Houses is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Besthorpe, Attleborough, Attleborough (NR17 2LB). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 78). The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
Held since December 2009 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £240,000 sits 71.4% above the 2009 sale of £140,000. At 73 m² it sits well below the postcode median (134 m² across 48 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
