About Mill Cottage North
Mill Cottage North is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Woodbank, Chester, Chester (CH1 6EY). It has a recorded floor area of 139 m² (around 1496 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include a conservatory, a self-contained annexe and attached land beyond the plot. The latest certificate (November 2012) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 94), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from November 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 139 m² it's 16% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (166 m² median across 10 EPCs). Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 70% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £560,000 is 24.4% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£301/sq ft) was about 109.3% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £450,000 in June 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
