About 1 Hornby Croft
1 Hornby Croft is a four-bedroom detached house in Leyland (PR26 7UT). It has a recorded floor area of 129 m² (around 1389 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2025) shows a C (score 73). When first surveyed in September 2023 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Average to Good and roof efficiency went from Poor to Average; while lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Held since September 1998 — that's 28 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 £357,000 sits 500% above the 1998 sale of £59,500. At 129 m² it's 22.9% larger than the typical home in the postcode (105 m² median across 3 EPCs).
