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

13 Denbigh Street is a mid-terrace house in Chester (CH1 4HL). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (December 2025) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 5 certificates since March 2010. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

At 42 m² it sits well below the postcode median (92 m² across 28 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 2020–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at -11.3% per year.
