Overview

About 3 Chestnut Cottages

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

3 Chestnut Cottages is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in St. Fagans, Cardiff, Cardiff (CF5 6EG). It has a recorded floor area of 74 m² (around 797 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

7 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. At 74 m² it sits well below the postcode median (197 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £340,000 is 11.5% above the 2024 sale price. Most recent transfer: November 2024 at £305,000.
