Overview

About 1 Bennett Drive

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

1 Bennett Drive is a five-bedroom detached house in Orrell, Wigan, Wigan (WN5 7AR). It has a recorded floor area of 157 m² (around 1690 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2022) shows a C (score 71).

It hasn't traded since March 1999, a hold of 27 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. Today's modelled estimate of £485,000 sits 239.3% above the 1999 sale of £142,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£85/sq ft) was about 18% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 157 m² it's 21% larger than the typical home in the postcode (130 m² median across 11 EPCs).
