Overview

About Acre Nook

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

Acre Nook is a three-bedroom detached house in Pilling, Preston, Preston (PR3 6HJ). It has a recorded floor area of 135 m² (around 1453 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 92), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Across 2005–2025, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £520,000 is 10.3% below the 2025 sale of £580,000, an unusual pattern given regional price growth and worth checking against the EPC condition. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£399/sq ft) was about 155.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. It changed hands recently, sold March 2025 for £580,000.
