25 Langley Common Road is a detached house in Barkham, Wokingham, Wokingham (RG40 4TU). It has a recorded floor area of 136 m² (around 1464 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (July 2012) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 77). The latest certificate is from July 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since June 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 136 m² the property is well over the postcode median (45 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £692,000 sits 179% above the 2000 sale of £248,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£169/sq ft) was about 45.8% below the postcode norm. 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a garage conversion and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
