Overview

About Swillbrook Farm Barn

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

Swillbrook Farm Barn is a detached house in Catforth, Preston, Preston (PR4 0HE). It has a recorded floor area of 423 m² (around 4553 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows an F (score 26), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 68), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since October 2004 — that's 22 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 423 m² the property is well over the postcode median (101 m² across 6 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: change of use to residential approved in 2024. Past consents include change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £874,000 is 38.7% above the 2004 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£138/sq ft) was about 29.5% below the postcode norm.
