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 19 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 £922,000 sits 116.9% 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.
