Overview

About 17 Barnes Wallis Drive

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

17 Barnes Wallis Drive is a detached house in Apley, Telford, Telford (TF1 6XT). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £233,000 sits 288.4% above the 1997 sale of £59,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£66/sq ft) was about 26.7% below the postcode norm. At 84 m² it's 16% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (100 m² median across 17 EPCs).
