About 81 Penn Road
81 Penn Road is a three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Stevenage (SG1 1HT). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 82 m² the property is well over the postcode median (43 m² across 24 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £325,000 sits 58.5% above the 2015 sale of £205,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£232/sq ft) was about 20.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 11 years ago, in May 2015.
