About 2 Old Watton Road
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Old Watton Road is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Colney, Norwich, Norwich (NR4 7TN). It has a recorded floor area of 159 m² (around 1711 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Period features are noted in the property record.
Untraded for 29 years, with the last transfer in June 1997. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 159 m² the property is well over the postcode median (86 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £435,000 sits 835.5% above the 1997 sale of £46,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£27/sq ft) was about 87.3% below the postcode norm. 5 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
