About 5 Holmesfield Road
5 Holmesfield Road is a two-bedroom detached house in Dronfield Woodhouse, Dronfield, Dronfield (S18 8WS). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 56), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in April 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, main heating went from Average to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since April 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £265,000 sits 152.4% above the 2007 sale of £105,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£123/sq ft) was about 30.7% below the postcode norm.
