6 Higher Lydgate Park, Grasscroft, Oldham, OL4 4EF

6 Higher Lydgate Park is a four-bedroom detached house in Grasscroft, Oldham, Oldham (OL4 4EF). It has a recorded floor area of 128 m² (around 1378 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band G. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 77), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since September 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £653,000 sits 161.2% above the 1998 sale of £249,999. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£181/sq ft) was about 46.8% below the postcode norm. At 128 m² it sits well below the postcode median (241 m² across 4 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
