About Haighton Tower
Haighton Tower is a seven-bedroom detached house in Haighton, Preston, Preston (PR2 5SL). It has a recorded floor area of 405 m² (around 4359 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band G. Tenure is freehold. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (January 2026) shows a C (score 72). The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
It hasn't traded since September 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. At 405 m² the property is well over the postcode median (240 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £1,036,000 sits 185.8% above the 2001 sale of £362,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£83/sq ft) was about 63.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2002. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
