Overview

About Mill Hey Farm

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

Mill Hey Farm is a detached house in Capenhurst, Chester, Chester (CH1 6HN). It has a recorded floor area of 252 m² (around 2713 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2021) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 62). Main heating runs on oil.

Today's modelled estimate of £697,000 is 42.6% below the 2021 sale of £1,215,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition.

At 252 m² the property is well over the postcode median (165 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Most recent transfer: October 2021 at £1,215,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2022.
