About Cuckoos Nest
Cuckoos Nest is a three-bedroom detached house in Macclesfield (SK11 0AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 208 m² (around 2239 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2026) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in March 2015 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). Main heating runs on oil. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Past consents include an extension, a conservatory and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
