Overview

About Brooklea

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Brooklea is a detached house in Bretton, Chester, Chester (CH4 0DF). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows an F (score 24), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 59), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on dual fuel. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £271,000 sits 135.7% above the 2014 sale of £115,000. At 92 m² it sits well below the postcode median (142 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in May 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
