2 New Row Cottages is a four-bedroom mid-terrace house in Knowle Green, Preston, Preston (PR3 2YS). It has a recorded floor area of 129 m² (around 1385 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since April 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 129 m² the property is well over the postcode median (81 m² across 17 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 82% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £424,000 is 41.3% above the 2009 sale price. One planning record on file: change of use to residential refused in 2014.
