About Ivy Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Ivy Cottage is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Brindle, Chorley, Chorley (PR6 8NH). It has a recorded floor area of 105 m² (around 1130 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2015) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in September 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Average to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 97), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.
Across 1998–2018, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £385,000 is 28.3% above the 2018 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£265/sq ft) was about 22.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in June 2018, so it's been off the market for around 8 years. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. At 105 m² it's 23% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (136 m² median across 8 EPCs).

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for Ivy Cottage is modelled from its 105 m² EPC floor area, its 3 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in PR6 8NH. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 3 sales are recorded for Ivy Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Ivy Cottage was lodged in May 2015 at band D and expired in May 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 2 applications are matched to Ivy Cottage. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 8 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from PR6 8NH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- Ivy Cottage is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
