Overview

About 1 Grove Cottages

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

1 Grove Cottages is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Acton, Nantwich, Nantwich (CW5 8LD). It has a recorded floor area of 126 m² (around 1356 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2025) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in June 2013 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Good to Very Good and window efficiency went from Poor to Average; while main heating dropped from Average to Poor. Main heating runs on oil. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Today's modelled estimate of £458,000 sits 126.2% above the 2016 sale of £202,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£149/sq ft) was about 38.6% below the postcode norm. 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 June 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
