About 5 Thornley Close

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

5 Thornley Close is a two-bedroom detached house in Grotton, Oldham, Oldham (OL4 5QU). It has a recorded floor area of 98 m² (around 1055 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2013) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). The latest certificate is from May 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory and attached land beyond the plot. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

At 98 m² it sits well below the postcode median (142 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1998–2013, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.8% per year.
