About The Bothy
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
The Bothy is a five-bedroom detached house in Pulford, Chester, Chester (CH4 9HB). It has a recorded floor area of 378 m² (around 4069 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band H. The latest certificate (October 2013) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from October 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe.
At 378 m² the property is well over the postcode median (168 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 9 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Today's modelled estimate of £1,079,000 is 16.6% above the 2021 sale price. Sold March 2021 for £925,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for The Bothy is modelled from its 378 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in CH4 9HB. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for The Bothy. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for The Bothy was lodged in October 2013 at band C and expired in October 2023, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 9 applications are matched to The Bothy. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 1 school and 25 stops listed are measured in a straight line from CH4 9HB, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- The Bothy is in council tax band H. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
