About 1 Waterworks Houses
1 Waterworks Houses is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Hurleston, Nantwich, Nantwich (CW5 6BU). It has a recorded floor area of 134 m² (around 1442 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 87). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
Held since October 1996 — that's 30 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 134 m² the property is well over the postcode median (100 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the top 10% of properties in this postcode. Today's modelled estimate of £327,000 sits 483.9% above the 1996 sale of £56,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£39/sq ft) was about 82.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
