About Hollowforth House
Hollowforth House is a detached house in Woodplumpton, Preston, Preston (PR4 0BD). It has a recorded floor area of 392 m² (around 4219 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a G (score 18), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 60), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since May 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 392 m² the property is well over the postcode median (160 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £527,000 sits 151% above the 2009 sale of £210,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£50/sq ft) was about 70% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2006.
