The Old Homestead, Guildford Road, Normandy, Guildford, GU3 2AU

The Old Homestead is a detached house in Normandy, Guildford, Guildford (GU3 2AU). It has a recorded floor area of 142 m² (around 1528 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (April 2012) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since December 1997, a hold of 28 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. At 142 m² the property is well over the postcode median (108 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £773,000 sits 243.6% above the 1997 sale of £225,000. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.
