How the estimate is made
The estimate for Bramble Barn is modelled from its 194 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CH1 6QF. 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.

Bramble Barn is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Higher Ferry, Chester, Chester (CH1 6QF). It has a recorded floor area of 194 m² (around 2088 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 58). Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe. The home occupies a corner plot.
Across 2010–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 24.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £433,000 sits 80.4% above the 2014 sale of £240,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£115/sq ft) was about 29.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020.

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 Bramble Barn is modelled from its 194 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CH1 6QF. 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. 2 sales are recorded for Bramble Barn. 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 Bramble Barn was lodged in January 2014 at band E and expired in January 2024, 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. 1 application is matched to Bramble Barn. 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 9 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH1 6QF, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Bramble Barn is in council tax band D. 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.
