About North Riding
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
North Riding is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Sulham, Reading, Reading (RG8 8EA). It has a recorded floor area of 156 m² (around 1679 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (March 2012) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 156 m² it's 30% larger than the typical home in the postcode (120 m² median across 7 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £840,000 is 42.4% above the 2013 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£351/sq ft) was about 44.7% below the postcode norm. On the market in September 2013 and unlisted since — roughly 13 years.
