Overview

About The School House

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

The School House is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Rivington, Bolton, Bolton (BL6 7SL). It has a recorded floor area of 273 m² (around 2939 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include a basement. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows an F (score 28), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 2006, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £579,000 is 33.1% above the 2006 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£148/sq ft) was about 32.9% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2006.
