Overview

About Woodbrow Farm

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

Woodbrow Farm is a detached house in Denshaw, Oldham, Oldham (OL3 5SP). It has a recorded floor area of 218 m² (around 2347 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 218 m² the property is well over the postcode median (140 m² across 16 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 16 planning records sit against the property, 8 approved, 4 refused. Past consents include change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
