4 Melrose Gardens, Croston, Leyland, PR26 9HR

4 Melrose Gardens is a four-bedroom detached house in Croston, Leyland, Leyland (PR26 9HR). It has a recorded floor area of 185 m² (around 1990 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band F. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (March 2009) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The latest certificate is from March 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since September 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 185 m² the property is well over the postcode median (114 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2000–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 24.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £603,000 is 34% above the 2009 sale price.
