6 Cricket Hill is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Finchampstead, Wokingham, Wokingham (RG40 3TN). It has a recorded floor area of 127 m² (around 1367 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2016) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe. Period features are noted in the property record.
Held since May 1996 — that's 30 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £497,000 sits 468% above the 1996 sale of £87,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£64/sq ft) was about 80% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension and a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 127 m² it's 16.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (152 m² median across 16 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs).
