About 1 Chestnut Avenue
1 Chestnut Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Guildford (GU2 4HD). It has a recorded floor area of 99 m² (around 1066 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2016) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since June 2013. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include outbuildings.
2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works, an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 99 m² it sits well below the postcode median (174 m² across 13 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Last sold in November 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. Today's modelled estimate of £776,000 is 21.2% above the 2016 sale price.
