Overview

About 23 Brookside Avenue

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

23 Brookside Avenue is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Grotton, Oldham, Oldham (OL4 4LH). It has a recorded floor area of 71 m² (around 764 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2013) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

At 71 m² it's 25.7% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (96 m² median across 24 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement.

Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in April 2014 and unlisted since — roughly 12 years.
