About Poplar Hall Farm
Poplar Hall Farm is a detached house in Chorlton-By-Backford, Chester, Chester (CH2 4DD). It has a recorded floor area of 347 m² (around 3735 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2022) shows an F (score 27), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 66), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.
It hasn't traded since December 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 347 m² the property is well over the postcode median (247 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £712,000 sits 247.3% above the 1997 sale of £205,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£55/sq ft) was about 68.3% below the postcode norm.
