Overview

About Lambs Farmhouse

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

Lambs Farmhouse is a detached house in Swallowfield, Reading, Reading (RG7 1PY). It has a recorded floor area of 389 m² (around 4184 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (September 2010) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). The latest certificate is from September 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 1998, a hold of 28 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 389 m² the property is well over the postcode median (187 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £1,488,000 sits 440.9% above the 1998 sale of £275,100. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£66/sq ft) was about 83.1% below the postcode norm.
