Overview

About 5 Chestnut Cottages

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

5 Chestnut Cottages is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Streatley, Reading, Reading (RG8 9JQ). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (September 2025) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band.

It hasn't traded since July 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 2002–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £576,000 sits 64.6% above the 2008 sale of £350,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£370/sq ft) was about 49.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 88 m² it's 20.4% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (111 m² median across 6 EPCs). One historical planning record sits against the property in 2008.
