Overview

About Old Hall Barn

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

Old Hall Barn is a five-bedroom detached house in Ince, Chester, Chester (CH2 4NS). It has a recorded floor area of 209 m² (around 2250 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2015) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in June 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from July 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe.

At 209 m² the property is well over the postcode median (90 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an annexe approved in 2023. Past consents include an annexe and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. On the market in December 2014 and unlisted since — roughly 12 years. Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 2003–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 12% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £434,000 is 42.3% above the 2014 sale price.
