Bobkins is a detached house in King's Lynn (PE32 1QP). It has a recorded floor area of 43 m² (around 464 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2009) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 59). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from November 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since August 1999 — that's 27 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £248,000 sits 244.4% above the 1999 sale of £72,000. At 43 m² it sits well below the postcode median (123 m² across 39 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
