Local market context
3 Abbeydale Cottages is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Huxley, Chester, Chester (CH3 9BN). It has a recorded floor area of 142 m² (around 1528 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2021) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in August 2010 the rating was G, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Poor to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. Other recorded features include notable views and attached land beyond the plot. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2011–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £568,000 is 13.8% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£326/sq ft) was about 31.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £499,000 in October 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
