About 8 Ashford Close

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

8 Ashford Close is a detached house in Gillingham, Beccles, Beccles (NR34 0LE). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £290,000 is 45% above the 2015 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£251/sq ft) was about 16.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in November 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
