Overview

About 1 Watling Street Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

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.

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 £137,000 sits 61.2% above the 2000 sale of £85,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£116/sq ft) was about 20.4% 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.
