About 26 Downham Road

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

26 Downham Road is a four-bedroom detached house in King's Lynn (PE33 0HS). It has a recorded floor area of 241 m² (around 2597 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 241 m² the property is well over the postcode median (145 m² across 23 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £569,000 is 13.8% above the 2011 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£193/sq ft) was about 79.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. On the market in October 2011 and unlisted since — roughly 15 years.
