About Rocking Horse Farm

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

Rocking Horse Farm is a detached house in Crowton, Northwich, Northwich (CW8 2RS). It has a recorded floor area of 195 m² (around 2099 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (January 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 195 m² the property is well over the postcode median (131 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£310/sq ft) was about 43.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in April 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
