About 156 South Road
156 South Road is a five-bedroom detached house in Bretherton, Leyland, Leyland (PR26 9AH). It has a recorded floor area of 358 m² (around 3853 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (September 2011) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The latest certificate is from September 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since August 2002 — that's 24 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 358 m² the property is well over the postcode median (121 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £864,000 sits 149.3% above the 2002 sale of £346,550. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£90/sq ft) was about 53.1% below the postcode norm. 9 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.
