Overview

About 4 Ruskin Road

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

4 Ruskin Road is a three-bedroom detached house in New Costessey, Norwich, Norwich (NR5 0LL). It has a recorded floor area of 136 m² (around 1464 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2025) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79).

It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £389,000 sits 55.6% above the 2007 sale of £249,950. At 136 m² it's 23.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (110 m² median across 23 EPCs).
