About Knaveshurst
Knaveshurst is a detached house in Shere, Guildford, Guildford (GU5 9HS). It has a recorded floor area of 145 m² (around 1557 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (July 2009) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 47). The latest certificate is from July 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £1,160,000 sits 75.8% above the 2009 sale of £660,000. 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include a garage conversion and tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent and conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.
