Overview

About Highfield House

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

Highfield House is a six-bedroom detached house in Streatley, Reading, Reading (RG8 9JX). It has a recorded floor area of 296 m² (around 3189 sq ft) and council tax band H. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a C (score 71). Main heating runs on electricity: electricity, unspecified tariff. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 296 m² the property is well over the postcode median (193 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 86% of similar EPCs). 6 bedrooms is on the larger side for this postcode, where 4 is the typical count. Today's modelled estimate of £2,128,000 sits 71.3% above the 2009 sale of £1,242,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2008. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
