About 40 Arkwright Road
40 Arkwright Road is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Preston (PR1 6BX). It has a recorded floor area of 87 m² (around 936 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2018) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump.
It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 87 m² the property is well over the postcode median (58 m² across 29 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £137,000 sits 58.4% above the 2007 sale of £86,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£92/sq ft) was about 17.6% below the postcode norm.
