About Higher Whitehough
Higher Whitehough is a three-bedroom detached house in Barley, Burnley, Burnley (BB12 9LF). It has a recorded floor area of 215 m² (around 2319 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2011) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 46). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
At 215 m² the property is well over the postcode median (130 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £605,000 sits 51.2% above the 2014 sale of £400,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£172/sq ft) was about 33% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in April 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
