8 Ephraim Street, Preston, PR1 4BJ

8 Ephraim Street is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Preston (PR1 4BJ). It has a recorded floor area of 95 m² (around 1023 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (November 2025) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 5 certificates since April 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since July 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. At 95 m² the property is well over the postcode median (66 m² across 19 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £132,000 sits 428% above the 2001 sale of £25,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£24/sq ft) was about 71.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2024. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
