Overview

About 8 Rockburgh Crescent

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

8 Rockburgh Crescent is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Walmer Bridge, Preston, Preston (PR4 5RD). It has a recorded floor area of 39 m² (around 414 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2011) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 63). The latest certificate is from April 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Across 2011–2015, sale prices on this property compounded at 1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £223,000 sits 53.8% above the 2015 sale of £145,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£350/sq ft) was about 105.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 39 m² it sits well below the postcode median (86 m² across 25 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2026. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in July 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
