Overview

About 15 Briar Croft

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

15 Briar Croft is a four-bedroom detached house in Longton, Preston, Preston (PR4 5ZF). It has a recorded floor area of 142 m² (around 1529 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2011) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from February 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£141/sq ft) was about 33.1% below the postcode norm. At 142 m² it's 23.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (115 m² median across 15 EPCs).
