Kelso, London Road, Newbury, RG14 2BA

Kelso is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Newbury (RG14 2BA). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows an F (score 25), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 51). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since October 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 99 m² the property is well over the postcode median (74 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £337,000 sits 92.6% above the 2009 sale of £175,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£164/sq ft) was about 33.5% below the postcode norm.
