Overview

About Mill Cottage South

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

Mill Cottage South is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Woodbank, Chester, Chester (CH1 6EY). It has a recorded floor area of 130 m² (around 1398 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 53). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since July 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £290,000 sits 52.6% above the 2010 sale of £190,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£136/sq ft) was about 48.1% below the postcode norm. At 130 m² it's 21.5% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (166 m² median across 10 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs).
