Overview

About Gravel House Farm

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

Gravel House Farm is a four-bedroom detached house in Croston, Leyland, Leyland (PR26 9HB). It has a recorded floor area of 138 m² (around 1485 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (January 2015) shows a G (score 14), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it F (May 2014); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from January 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in May 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years. Today's modelled estimate of £586,000 is 37.9% above the 2016 sale price.
