About Ash Cottage
Ash Cottage is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Calder Vale, Preston, Preston (PR3 1SA). It has a recorded floor area of 57 m² (around 614 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2022) shows an F (score 29), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (January 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Average and main heating went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 90), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since July 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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £137,000 is 26.9% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£176/sq ft) was about 35.8% below the postcode norm.
