About Mill Cottage North
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
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.
Today's modelled estimate of £545,000 is 21.1% 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. At 139 m² it's 16% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (166 m² median across 10 EPCs). 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.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Mill Cottage North is modelled from its 139 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CH1 6EY. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Mill Cottage North. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Mill Cottage North was lodged in November 2012 at band D and expired in November 2022, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Mill Cottage North. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 3 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH1 6EY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Mill Cottage North is in council tax band C. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
