Local market context
1 Watling Street Road is a mid-terrace house in Fulwood, Preston, Preston (PR2 8EA). It has a recorded floor area of 68 m² (around 732 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. At 68 m² this is the 11th smallest of 41 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 14–352 m². The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (April 2021) shows a C (score 80), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (April 2011); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good.
Held since November 2000 — that's 26 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £138,000 sits 62.4% above the 2000 sale of £85,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£116/sq ft) was about 21.4% below the postcode norm. At 68 m² it sits well below the postcode median (118 m² across 40 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
