About 3 Windy Ridge
3 Windy Ridge is a semi-detached house in Glapthorn, Peterborough, Peterborough (PE8 5BE). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2016) shows an E (score 51), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in March 2015 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good, lighting went from Poor to Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 31 years, with the last transfer in July 1995. 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 £542,000 sits 228.5% above the 1995 sale of £165,000. At 67 m² it sits well below the postcode median (163 m² across 26 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2008.
