Wits End, Hatherley Gardens, Barton Bendish, King's Lynn, PE33 9DR

Wits End is a three-bedroom detached house in King's Lynn (PE33 9DR). It has a recorded floor area of 129 m² (around 1389 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since October 2008. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in October 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 129 m² the property is well over the postcode median (62 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £323,000 sits 53.8% above the 2007 sale of £210,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£151/sq ft) was about 17.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
