About The Old Barn
The Old Barn is a three-bedroom detached house in King's Lynn (PE32 1BG). It has a recorded floor area of 272 m² (around 2928 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views. Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since May 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. At 272 m² the property is well over the postcode median (79 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 14.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £677,000 sits 52.1% above the 2007 sale of £445,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£152/sq ft) was about 32.6% below the postcode norm.
