About The Croft
The Croft is a semi-detached house in Brindle, Chorley, Chorley (PR6 8NH). It has a recorded floor area of 204 m² (around 2196 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 92), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since June 2006, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. At 204 m² the property is well over the postcode median (129 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2004–2006, sale prices on this property compounded at 11% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £648,000 sits 52.5% above the 2006 sale of £425,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£194/sq ft) was about 15.9% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2010. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
