About 1 Gorse Meadow
1 Gorse Meadow is a detached house in Bourton-On-The-Water, Cheltenham, Cheltenham (GL54 2DY). It has a recorded floor area of 168 m² (around 1813 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 68). The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since May 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £542,000 sits 83.7% above the 2009 sale of £295,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£163/sq ft) was about 36.5% below the postcode norm. At 168 m² it's 23.8% larger than the typical home in the postcode (136 m² median across 4 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
