About 54 Waterloo Road
54 Waterloo Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Ashton-On-Ribble, Preston, Preston (PR2 1BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (July 2025) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in April 2009 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 65). Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
It hasn't traded since June 2008, a hold of 18 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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £196,000 is 40.3% above the 2008 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£124/sq ft) was about 37% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
