1 The Drive, Norwich, NR5 0EF

1 The Drive is a two-bedroom detached house in Norwich (NR5 0EF). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2009) shows a G (score 17), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to F (score 23). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from June 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since September 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 59 m² it sits well below the postcode median (125 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £222,000 sits 68.2% above the 2009 sale of £132,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£208/sq ft) was about 45.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
