7 Hawkswood is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Eccleston, Chorley, Chorley (PR7 5RW). It has a recorded floor area of 66 m² (around 713 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 44). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since May 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 66 m² it's 23.9% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (87 m² median across 14 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £176,000 sits 51.7% above the 2009 sale of £116,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2011. Past consents include an extension, a loft conversion and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
