About 20 Bywell Road
20 Bywell Road is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Sunderland (SR6 7QT). It has a recorded floor area of 156 m² (around 1679 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. Tenure is freehold. The latest certificate (November 2025) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band.
It hasn't traded since June 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. Across 2007–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 44.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £478,000 sits 60.9% above the 2008 sale of £297,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 156 m² it's 23.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (126 m² median across 31 EPCs).
