3 Hermitage Drive, Ascot, SL5 7LA

3 Hermitage Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Ascot (SL5 7LA). It has a recorded floor area of 162 m² (around 1748 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2010) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from February 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since April 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 162 m² the property is well over the postcode median (115 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £887,000 sits 208% above the 1997 sale of £288,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£165/sq ft) was about 55.2% below the postcode norm. 11 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 5 refused. Past consents include an extension and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
