3 Southey Close, Ettiley Heath, Sandbach, CW11 3ZL

3 Southey Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Ettiley Heath, Sandbach, Sandbach (CW11 3ZL). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1038 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 96 m² the property is well over the postcode median (66 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £294,000 sits 286.9% above the 1997 sale of £75,995. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£73/sq ft) was about 42.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2002. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
