About The Willows

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

The Willows is a three-bedroom detached house in Moston, Sandbach, Sandbach (CW11 3QD). It has a recorded floor area of 168 m² (around 1808 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since August 2010. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 62), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views and outbuildings. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 168 m² the property is well over the postcode median (123 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 8 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, new windows and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Across 2002–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £823,000 is 40.7% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£324/sq ft) was about 144.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in July 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
