Overview

About Well House Cottage

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

Well House Cottage is a six-bedroom semi-detached house in Bretton, Chester, Chester (CH4 0DH). It has a recorded floor area of 281 m² (around 3025 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since March 2010. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

At 281 m² the property is well over the postcode median (80 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £585,000 is 42.7% above the 2012 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£136/sq ft) was about 56.3% below the postcode norm. Last sold in September 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.
