Overview

About 5 Cornfield

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

5 Cornfield is a four-bedroom detached house in Cottam, Preston, Preston (PR4 0BW). It has a recorded floor area of 96 m² (around 1033 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1991-1995 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2020) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79).

It hasn't traded since August 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. Across 1995–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £326,000 is 35.3% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£233/sq ft) was about 98.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 96 m² it's 26.2% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (130 m² median across 4 EPCs).
