About Cestrian
Cestrian is a four-bedroom detached house in Illston, Leicester, Leicester (LE7 9EG). It has a recorded floor area of 217 m² (around 2340 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows an F (score 26), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since July 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 217 m² the property is well over the postcode median (112 m² across 34 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs). 4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2003–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £868,000 is 22.1% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£304/sq ft) was about 35.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
