Overview

About Keepers Cottage

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

Keepers Cottage is a detached house in Churton, Chester, Chester (CH3 6LE). It has a recorded floor area of 189 m² (around 2030 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in September 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Average, lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good and main heating went from Average to Good. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in December 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 79% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £987,000 is 42% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£342/sq ft) was about 73.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
