Overview

About 4 Cherwell Road

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

4 Cherwell Road is a four-bedroom detached house in Emmer Green, Reading, Reading (RG4 8QH). It has a recorded floor area of 152 m² (around 1636 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 152 m² it sits well below the postcode median (230 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 8 planning records sit against the property, 8 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £895,000 is 30% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£421/sq ft) was about 27.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in February 2016, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for 4 Cherwell Road is modelled from its 152 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in RG4 8QH. 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. 1 sale is recorded for 4 Cherwell Road. 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 4 Cherwell Road was lodged in August 2015 at band D and expired in August 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 8 applications are matched to 4 Cherwell Road. 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 16 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 13 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from RG4 8QH, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
4 Cherwell Road is in council tax band G. 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.
