Essential property details

ItemDetails
Guide priceIf you check property prices online (e.g. property listings or land registry), the price you will see for 71PM is for the transfer of an equity share of the property. Don’t be misled into thinking that is the market value of the property or you will be disappointed!
TenureFreehold
Type of propertyThree-storied, end-of-terrace town house with a roof terrace. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms.

The property can be occupied as a four-bedroomed house, or with the ground floor functioning as a self-contained flat within the family home and the other three bedrooms on the upper two storeys. (See ‘Planning Consent’ below.)
Exterior spaceThe first floor features a south-west facing roof terrace which runs the full width of the building. The front garden includes the driveway for a large vehicle. The back garden opens off the patio doors and includes a shed. Bike access to the back garden is via a side gate.
RoofTo solve the problem of endless repairs to felt on the flat roof, it has now been covered with PVC in 20xx.

PVC manufacturers guarantee – ends xxxx
Roofer’s guarantee – ends xxxx

At the same time the 60-year old roof structure itself was replaced and will probably last another 60 years! The fascias were also replaced in [year].

The roof to the extension has EPDM covering which is equally durable. The roof is built with a slope towards the gutter and the decking joists are built with no bridging so that water drainage is assured.
ParkingSpace for a large vehicle on the front drive. Additional parking throughout the estate is restricted to residents at some times of day (essentially commuter hours) and is council controlled. Residents can buy year-long permits and additional day visitor permits.
Council tax bandBand E
Broadband The Ofcom broadband checker shows Ultrafast (1000Mbps) available at this address. Uswitch shows EE fibre of 1600Mbps as the fastest currently available.
Energy efficiencyDoors and windows are double-glazed throughout, except for the front door, which has been retained to match the original character of the estate.
The electricity meter records night-time usage separately, allowing higher loads to be scheduled for lower-rate periods where the electricity tariff provides this.

The main roof has 15cm insulation. This has markedly improved heat retention in winter and reduced top-floor heating in summer.

EPC rating: the property was assessed in 2026 as energy-efficiency rating D, with potential to reach C. Ratings run from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). You can see the EPC here.
Planning consentPlanning permission allows the ground floor to function as self-contained accommodation and the same for the upper two storeys. There is just one street address and one electricity / gas / meter for the whole property

The house can therefore be used as a conventional four-bedroomed home, or the ground floor can provide a greater degree of independence for someone within the household. For example, it could suit a teenage or adult child, or an older or disabled family member who would benefit from ground-floor access and their own living space while remaining part of the same household.
