Overview

About 4 Blacksmiths Ground

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

4 Blacksmiths Ground is a detached house in Highnam, Gloucester, Gloucester (GL2 8NB). It has a recorded floor area of 108 m² (around 1163 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 31 years, with the last transfer in June 1995. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £410,000 sits 335% above the 1995 sale of £94,250. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£81/sq ft) was about 66.1% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs).
