About 1 Wordsworth Place
1 Wordsworth Place is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Dronfield (S18 1NL). It has a recorded floor area of 70 m² (around 753 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 70 m² it sits well below the postcode median (103 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2024. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £282,000 is 37.6% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£272/sq ft) was about 32.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in February 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
