2 Ellaston Drive, Urmston, Manchester, M41 0XB

2 Ellaston Drive is a three-bedroom detached house in Urmston, Manchester, Manchester (M41 0XB). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 837 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Held since June 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 78 m² it's 17.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (95 m² median across 4 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £338,000 sits 93.1% above the 2009 sale of £175,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
