Stone Cottage is a five-bedroom semi-detached house in Goosnargh, Preston, Preston (PR3 2BN). It has a recorded floor area of 170 m² (around 1830 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views and a conservatory. Period features are noted in the property record.
At 170 m² the property is well over the postcode median (115 m² across 25 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 5 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a conservatory and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sale on file: £410,000 in January 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
