About Battle Hill
Battle Hill is a six-bedroom detached house in Goring, Reading, Reading (RG8 0DT). It has a recorded floor area of 384 m² (around 4135 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band H. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows an F (score 38), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 63), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views, a self-contained annexe and attached land beyond the plot. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history.
It hasn't traded since April 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Across 2007–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at -10.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £2,303,000 sits 102% above the 2009 sale of £1,140,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£276/sq ft) was about 19.9% below the postcode norm. 2 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused.
