About 5 The Gardens
5 The Gardens is a three-bedroom detached house in Sandbach (CW11 1BB). It has a recorded floor area of 158 m² (around 1700 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (December 2010) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 56). The latest certificate is from December 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 158 m² the property is well over the postcode median (117 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £420,000 sits 75% above the 2012 sale of £240,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in May 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.
