About Plovers Wood
Plovers Wood is a four-bedroom detached house in Brockhampton, Cheltenham, Cheltenham (GL54 5XJ). It has a recorded floor area of 262 m² (around 2824 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1950-1966. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 64). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe.
It hasn't traded since November 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. At 262 m² the property is well over the postcode median (127 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 5 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2004–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,273,000 is 47.2% above the 2009 sale price.
