About The Old School House
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
The Old School House is a detached house in Broxton, Chester, Chester (CH3 9JR). It has a recorded floor area of 308 m² (around 3315 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (December 2021) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.
It hasn't traded since February 2007, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 308 m² the property is well over the postcode median (214 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2002–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 2.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £857,000 sits 101.6% above the 2007 sale of £425,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£128/sq ft) was about 39.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 The Old School House is modelled from its 308 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in CH3 9JR. 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 The Old School House. 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 The Old School House was lodged in December 2021 at band E and is valid until December 2031. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to The Old School House. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 1 school and 13 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH3 9JR, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- The Old School House is in council tax band G. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
