Willowbrook, Bidbury Lane, Havant, PO9 3JG

Willowbrook is a four-bedroom detached house in Havant (PO9 3JG). It has a recorded floor area of 238 m² (around 2558 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2011) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). The latest certificate is from February 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe and attached land beyond the plot.

Held since April 1996 — that's 30 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 £735,000 sits 250% above the 1996 sale of £210,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£82/sq ft) was about 75.9% below the postcode norm. 7 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 238 m² it's 19.1% larger than the typical home in the postcode (200 m² median across 6 EPCs).
