Overview

About Bretton House Farm

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

Bretton House Farm is a five-bedroom detached house in Bretton, Chester, Chester (CH4 0DW). It has a recorded floor area of 255 m² (around 2745 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band H. The latest certificate (February 2013) shows a C (score 74). The latest certificate is from February 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in December 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 255 m² the property is well over the postcode median (121 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 85% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £670,000 sits 51.6% above the 2007 sale of £442,000.
