4 Bolton Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Southport (PR8 4BE). It has a recorded floor area of 263 m² (around 2831 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (March 2016) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in May 2015 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 263 m² the property is well over the postcode median (176 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £553,000 sits 112.7% above the 2016 sale of £260,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2021. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. On the market in February 2016 and unlisted since — roughly 10 years.
