Overview

About Gardners Cottage

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

Gardners Cottage is a semi-detached house in Barnacre, Preston, Preston (PR3 1GN). It has a recorded floor area of 97 m² (around 1044 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows a G (score 12), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 87), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since October 1995 — that's 31 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 £223,000 sits 471.8% above the 1995 sale of £39,000. At 97 m² it sits well below the postcode median (160 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
