Purefoy Lodge, Caldecote Lane, Caldecote, Nuneaton, CV10 0TN

Purefoy Lodge is a three-bedroom detached house in Caldecote, Nuneaton, Nuneaton (CV10 0TN). It has a recorded floor area of 187 m² (around 2013 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows an F (score 26), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (August 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Poor. Main heating runs on bulk wood pellets. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since April 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 187 m² the property is well over the postcode median (114 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £561,000 is 40.3% above the 2008 sale price.
