Overview

About 14 Chestnut Drive

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

14 Chestnut Drive is a five-bedroom detached house in Oadby, Leicester, Leicester (LE2 4QX). It has a recorded floor area of 361 m² (around 3886 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band H. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (June 2025) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 2-band jump.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in August 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 361 m² the property is well over the postcode median (215 m² across 44 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. Across 2000–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £1,378,000 sits 86.2% above the 2008 sale of £740,000.
