12 Blantern Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Higher Kinnerton, Chester, Chester (CH4 9DA). It has a recorded floor area of 117 m² (around 1259 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an F (score 27), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (February 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and main heating dropped from Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

At 117 m² it's 24.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (94 m² median across 10 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £370,000 sits 53.2% above the 2014 sale of £241,500. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2001. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in June 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
