Overview

About Sunnyside

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

Sunnyside is a four-bedroom detached house in Spencers Wood, Reading, Reading (RG7 1AE). It has a recorded floor area of 143 m² (around 1541 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2010) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 53). The latest certificate is from February 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

It hasn't traded since September 2010, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. At 143 m² the property is well over the postcode median (104 m² across 20 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £633,000 sits 76.3% above the 2010 sale of £359,000. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2010.
