About 1 Ashwood Close
1 Ashwood Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Barnton, Northwich, Northwich (CW8 4LY). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 776 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
It hasn't traded since October 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2005. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2005–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £228,000 is 42.5% above the 2009 sale price.
