About Amherst
Amherst is a detached house in Withington, Cheltenham, Cheltenham (GL54 4DD). It has a recorded floor area of 185 m² (around 1986 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1976-1982. The latest certificate (March 2010) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since January 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. At 185 m² the property is well over the postcode median (137 m² across 15 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £830,000 sits 66% above the 2007 sale of £500,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
