About 2 Gables Close
2 Gables Close is a three-bedroom detached house in Farnborough (GU14 0DY). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 3 certificates since July 2014. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot and a cul-de-sac position.
Today's modelled estimate of £463,000 sits 65.4% above the 2014 sale of £280,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£400/sq ft) was about 95.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 65 m² it sits well below the postcode median (122 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Last sold in November 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
