Overview

About 5 Charles Grove

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

5 Charles Grove is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Longridge, Preston, Preston (PR3 3FL). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (November 2025) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since November 2015. Between certificates, lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 75). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

It hasn't traded since May 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £193,000 is 26.1% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£169/sq ft) was about 68.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
