Grey Gables, Oakley Road, Battledown, Cheltenham, GL52 6NZ

Grey Gables is a four-bedroom detached house in Battledown, Cheltenham, Cheltenham (GL52 6NZ). It has a recorded floor area of 148 m² (around 1597 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (August 2011) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from August 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since June 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £1,149,000 sits 53.2% above the 2007 sale of £750,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£470/sq ft) was about 50.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 148 m² it sits well below the postcode median (278 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% of similar EPCs). 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
