Hazeldene, Cherry Garden Lane, Maidenhead, SL6 3QG

Hazeldene is a detached house in Maidenhead (SL6 3QG). It has a recorded floor area of 172 m² (around 1851 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2019) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (October 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency dropped from Good to Average and roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil.

It hasn't traded since July 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 172 m² the property is well over the postcode median (124 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £819,000 sits 102.2% above the 2008 sale of £405,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£219/sq ft) was about 32% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension refused in 2008.
