Overview

About 1 Hitch Lowes

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

1 Hitch Lowes is a two-bedroom detached house in Chelford, Macclesfield, Macclesfield (SK11 9SR). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2014) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The home occupies a corner plot.

At 79 m² it sits well below the postcode median (147 m² across 20 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £378,000 is 39% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£320/sq ft) was about 17.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in June 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2016.
