About The Nutshell
The Nutshell is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Taplow, Maidenhead, Maidenhead (SL6 0BB). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2019) shows a C (score 78), near the top of the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (December 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and lighting dropped from Average to Poor. At 80 m² this is the 3rd smallest of 6 units on EPC record in The Nutshell, where floor areas span 24–91 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B across 6 units on file.
Today's modelled estimate of £443,000 is 10.5% below the 2007 sale of £495,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£575/sq ft) was about 23.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in July 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. One planning application is currently pending a decision in 2018. At 80 m² it sits well below the postcode median (121 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
