About The Penthouse

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

The Penthouse is a mid-terrace house in Chester (CH1 1SA). It has a recorded floor area of 130 m² (around 1399 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D.

Today's modelled estimate of £299,000 is 53.3% below the 2021 sale of £640,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look.
