About 1 Appletree Drive
1 Appletree Drive is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Dronfield (S18 1SG). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since May 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Held since March 1999 — that's 27 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 £271,000 sits 289.9% above the 1999 sale of £69,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£61/sq ft) was about 64.7% below the postcode norm. At 105 m² it's 16.7% larger than the typical home in the postcode (90 m² median across 11 EPCs).
