About 4 Abbey Court
4 Abbey Court is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Winchcombe, Cheltenham, Cheltenham (GL54 5RA). It has a recorded floor area of 42 m² (around 452 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (July 2020) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in November 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.

It hasn't traded since December 1999, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £164,000 sits 228% above the 1999 sale of £50,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£111/sq ft) was about 49.1% below the postcode norm. At 42 m² it sits well below the postcode median (77 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
