Caer Fedwen is a five-bedroom detached house in Bretton, Chester, Chester (CH4 0DW). It has a recorded floor area of 327 m² (around 3520 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1967-1975. There is a swimming pool on the plot, uncommon for the area. Other recorded features include notable views, a self-contained annexe, outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot. The latest certificate (December 2024) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in January 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since.

At 327 m² the property is well over the postcode median (121 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £961,000 sits 94.1% above the 2003 sale of £495,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
