Overview

About 4 Baristow Close

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

4 Baristow Close is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Chester (CH2 2EA). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2024) shows a C (score 71). The rating has held steady at C across 2 certificates since September 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 89). The home occupies a corner plot and a cul-de-sac position.

Held since March 2008 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 45 m² it's 28.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (63 m² median across 13 EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £160,000 is 45.5% above the 2008 sale price.
