About 17 Cookesmere Lane
17 Cookesmere Lane is a two-bedroom detached house in Sandbach (CW11 1BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 701 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in July 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £287,000 sits 55.1% above the 2009 sale of £185,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£264/sq ft) was about 41.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 85% of similar EPCs).
