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 £201,000 sits 415.4% 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.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Gardners Cottage is modelled from its 97 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in PR3 1GN. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for Gardners Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Gardners Cottage was lodged in December 2014 at band G and expired in December 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Gardners Cottage. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 13 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 4 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR3 1GN, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
