About 17 Dickens Street
17 Dickens Street is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Peterborough (PE1 5EA). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1238 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2018) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe.
It hasn't traded since June 2008, a hold of 18 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. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 115 m² it's 21.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (95 m² median across 19 EPCs). Across 2001–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 27.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £243,000 is 38.9% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£141/sq ft) was about 34.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
