Overview

About 1 Huckleberry Close

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

1 Huckleberry Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Purley On Thames, Reading, Reading (RG8 8EH). It has a recorded floor area of 125 m² (around 1343 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2009) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 69). The latest certificate is from January 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since June 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. Across 2006–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 1.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £501,000 sits 72.8% above the 2009 sale of £290,000. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs).
