About Rose Cottage

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

Rose Cottage is a two-bedroom detached house in Capenhurst, Chester, Chester (CH1 6HE). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Across 2014–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at -8.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £322,000 sits 89.4% above the 2014 sale of £170,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£163/sq ft) was about 39.7% below the postcode norm. At 97 m² it sits well below the postcode median (161 m² across 19 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs). On the market in September 2014 and unlisted since — roughly 12 years.
