Firbeck, Old Coach Road, Barnhill, Broxton, Chester, CH3 9JL
About Firbeck
Firbeck is a detached house in Broxton, Chester, Chester (CH3 9JL). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1222 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1967-1975. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows an F (score 37), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 62), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since July 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 114 m² it sits well below the postcode median (171 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2024. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £450,000 is 32.4% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£278/sq ft) was about 20.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
