About Chestnut Farm

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

Chestnut Farm is a detached house in Beeby, Leicester, Leicester (LE7 3BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 161 m² (around 1733 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2021) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. Earlier certificates rated it C (June 2013); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and main heating dropped from Good to Average. Main heating runs on oil.

At 161 m² the property is well over the postcode median (95 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Sold June 2021 for £850,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2020.
