Overview

About Farnley Hey

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

Farnley Hey is a four-bedroom detached house in Brereton Heath, Congleton, Congleton (CW12 4SY). It has a recorded floor area of 119 m² (around 1281 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an F (score 24), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record.

Today's modelled estimate of £434,000 sits 57.8% above the 2016 sale of £275,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in April 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
