3 Cherry Wood is a four-bedroom detached house in Penwortham, Preston, Preston (PR1 0PJ). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1216 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since December 2008. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since November 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £265,000 sits 51.4% above the 2009 sale of £175,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£144/sq ft) was about 21.7% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
