Overview

About 8 Main Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

8 Main Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Holmesfield, Dronfield, Dronfield (S18 7WT). It has a recorded floor area of 133 m² (around 1432 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (June 2012) shows an F (score 28), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. It has already been extended once and our model flags further extension potential, a sign of buyer flexibility.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Across 2002–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £454,000 sits 100% above the 2013 sale of £227,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£159/sq ft) was about 37% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, 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 November 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
