4 Battledown Priors, Cheltenham, GL52 6RB

4 Battledown Priors is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Cheltenham (GL52 6RB). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 447 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. At 42 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (42–74 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to D, with this unit at the bottom. The latest certificate (November 2008) shows an F (score 27), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 67), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from November 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in July 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 42 m² it sits well below the postcode median (70 m² across 16 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. Across 2004–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £189,000 is 30.3% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£325/sq ft) was about 65.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
