Overview

About 8 Birchen Close

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

8 Birchen Close is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Dronfield Woodhouse, Dronfield, Dronfield (S18 8ZD). It has a recorded floor area of 90 m² (around 969 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (August 2012) returns a B (score 84), comfortably above the UK average. The recommended improvements would push it to A (score 92). The latest certificate is from August 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Held since July 2003 — that's 23 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 90 m² it's 19.2% larger than the typical home in the postcode (76 m² median across 10 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £274,000 sits 141.4% above the 2003 sale of £113,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£117/sq ft) was about 48.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
