Local market context
Willow Cabin is a detached house in Poulton, Chester, Chester (CH4 9EE). It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1593 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2021) shows a G (score 1), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 57), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on bottled lpg.
Today's modelled estimate of £589,000 is 29% below the 2021 sale of £830,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£521/sq ft) was about 145.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 148 m² it sits well below the postcode median (230 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 8 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 4 refused. Last sale on file: £830,000 in May 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
