1 Merton Ford is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Wokingham (RG40 2HQ). It has a recorded floor area of 190 m² (around 2045 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. Tenure is freehold. At 190 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (103–190 m²). The building's EPC ratings span G to E, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 190 m² the property is well over the postcode median (116 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 11 years since the last transfer (November 2015). Today's modelled estimate of £669,000 is 11.5% above the 2015 sale price. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2025.
