Overview

About Half Moon

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

Half Moon is a detached house in Eccleston, Chester, Chester (CH4 9JN). It has a recorded floor area of 163 m² (around 1755 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an F (score 28), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £631,000 sits 53.9% above the 2017 sale of £410,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£234/sq ft) was about 47.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 163 m² it sits well below the postcode median (256 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sold in January 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2026.
