Overview

About 20 Beech Close

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

20 Beech Close is a detached house in Whitworth, Rochdale, Rochdale (OL12 8AR). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 705 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2011) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 58). The latest certificate is from July 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £237,000 sits 73% above the 2011 sale of £137,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£194/sq ft) was about 65.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 66 m² it sits well below the postcode median (112 m² across 14 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2018. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in August 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years.
