Overview

About Stoney Ridge

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

Stoney Ridge is a detached house in Elswick, Preston, Preston (PR4 3YB). It has a recorded floor area of 113 m² (around 1211 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2009) shows an F (score 21), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 67), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 16 years, with the last transfer in December 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £253,000 sits 72.7% above the 2009 sale of £146,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£121/sq ft) was about 24.8% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs).
