Overview

About Westwinds

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

Westwinds is a four-bedroom detached house in Warton, Preston, Preston (PR4 1AT). It has a recorded floor area of 143 m² (around 1539 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1991-1995. The latest certificate (September 2025) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (October 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and lighting dropped from Very Good to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73). Other recorded features include notable views, a self-contained annexe, outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since December 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. At 143 m² the property is well over the postcode median (71 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Today's modelled estimate of £404,000 is 34.7% above the 2009 sale price.
