About Grove Farm
Grove Farm is a detached house in Macclesfield (SK11 0AD). It has a recorded floor area of 329 m² (around 3541 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (August 2013) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 329 m² the property is well over the postcode median (129 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 7 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, solar panel installation, new windows and change of use to residential, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Sold May 2022 for £995,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
