8 Ashbourne Avenue, Bolton, BL2 1LS

8 Ashbourne Avenue is a detached house in Bolton (BL2 1LS). It has a recorded floor area of 193 m² (around 2077 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since April 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since November 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. At 193 m² the property is well over the postcode median (126 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £354,000 sits 197.6% above the 2001 sale of £118,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£57/sq ft) was about 50.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
