About Paxton House
Paxton House is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Southwark, London, London (SE17 1DS). It has a recorded floor area of 49 m² (around 527 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band B. At 49 m² this is the 5th smallest of 11 units on EPC record in Paxton House, where floor areas span 43–80 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. On EPC score it ranks first in the building (77 versus a worst of 58). The latest certificate (August 2023) shows a C (score 77), near the top of the C band.
It hasn't traded since March 2008, a hold of 18 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 £336,000 sits 116.8% above the 2008 sale of £155,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£294/sq ft) was about 44.8% below the postcode norm. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 70% of similar EPCs).
