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. The latest certificate (December 2018) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve.

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.

At 130 m² it's 24.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (172 m² median across 3 EPCs). Sold October 2021 for £640,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
