3 Courtyard Lodge, Idsall Drive, Prestbury, Cheltenham, GL52 3BU

3 Courtyard Lodge is a two-bedroom detached house in Prestbury, Cheltenham, Cheltenham (GL52 3BU). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since May 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 69 m² it's 21.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (88 m² median across 24 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £392,000 sits 188.2% above the 2001 sale of £136,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£183/sq ft) was about 16.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: tree works approved in 2012. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
