312 Prestbury Road, Prestbury, Cheltenham, GL52 3DD

312 Prestbury Road is a five-bedroom detached house in Prestbury, Cheltenham, Cheltenham (GL52 3DD). It has a recorded floor area of 182 m² (around 1959 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2017) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in March 2012 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 70), a 2-band jump. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.

Held since October 1997 — that's 29 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 182 m² the property is well over the postcode median (119 m² across 18 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £686,000 sits 523.9% above the 1997 sale of £109,950. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£56/sq ft) was about 84% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
