3 The Courtyard is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Smallwood, Sandbach, Sandbach (CW11 2GA). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1120 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since May 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £289,000 sits 57.1% above the 2009 sale of £184,000. At 104 m² it sits well below the postcode median (192 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
