Overview

About Fieldfare

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

Fieldfare is a detached house in Midgham, Reading, Reading (RG7 5UL). It has a recorded floor area of 136 m² (around 1464 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since October 2013. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 80). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since April 2006, a hold of 20 years that's notably long for the area. Today's modelled estimate of £691,000 sits 74.9% above the 2006 sale of £395,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2023. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 136 m² it's 21.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (173 m² median across 14 EPCs).
