How the estimate is made
The estimate for Cobblestones is modelled from its 173 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CH3 9JL. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.

About Cobblestones
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Cobblestones is a four-bedroom detached house in Broxton, Chester, Chester (CH3 9JL). It has a recorded floor area of 173 m² (around 1862 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since April 2013. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views.

Today's modelled estimate of £644,000 is 16% above the 2021 sale price.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Cobblestones is modelled from its 173 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CH3 9JL. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for Cobblestones. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Cobblestones was lodged in November 2014 at band D and expired in November 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
