About 8 Lea Road
8 Lea Road is a four-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Dronfield (S18 1SB). It has a recorded floor area of 86 m² (around 926 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2013) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 86 m² the property is well over the postcode median (52 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a porch and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent and conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. Last sold in September 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 1995–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £319,000 is 39.3% above the 2013 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£247/sq ft) was about 22.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
