1 Wardour Lodge, Rise Road, Ascot, SL5 0DA

1 Wardour Lodge is a semi-detached house in Ascot (SL5 0DA). It has a recorded floor area of 215 m² (around 2314 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. At 215 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across the building (122–215 m²). The building's EPC ratings span F to C, with this unit at the bottom. On EPC score it ranks last in the building (31 versus a best of 70). The latest certificate (March 2023) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 3-band jump.

It hasn't traded since October 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 215 m² the property is well over the postcode median (128 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £1,123,000 sits 835.8% above the 1997 sale of £120,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
