8 Ashbrook Farm Close, Stockport, SK5 6RP

8 Ashbrook Farm Close is a five-bedroom detached house in Stockport (SK5 6RP). It has a recorded floor area of 150 m² (around 1615 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2016) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since June 2016. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

It hasn't traded since August 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 150 m² it's 20.5% larger than the typical home in the postcode (125 m² median across 12 EPCs).
