About 8 Downs Cote Gardens
8 Downs Cote Gardens is a five-bedroom detached house in Bristol (BS9 3TT). It has a recorded floor area of 196 m² (around 2110 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since November 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. At 196 m² the property is well over the postcode median (150 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £1,022,000 sits 271.6% above the 1999 sale of £275,000.

Past consents include an extension, a porch and solar panel installation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
