About Cresselly
Cresselly is a three-bedroom detached house in Southam, Cheltenham, Cheltenham (GL52 3NY). It has a recorded floor area of 75 m² (around 809 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 54). The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since December 2009 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 75 m² it sits well below the postcode median (148 m² across 30 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £507,000 sits 71.9% above the 2009 sale of £295,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£365/sq ft) was about 20.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
