About 170 Bridgwater Drive
170 Bridgwater Drive is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Westcliff On Sea (SS0 0DS). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.
It hasn't traded since August 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2005–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £293,000 sits 77.6% above the 2009 sale of £165,000. At 68 m² it's 24.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (90 m² median across 17 EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2007.
