Overview

About 16 Hillcrest

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

16 Hillcrest is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Colerne, Chippenham, Chippenham (SN14 8BP). It has a recorded floor area of 80 m² (around 861 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2015) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in March 2014 the rating was F, the property has climbed 3 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Very Poor to Average and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83). The latest certificate is from November 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings. The home occupies a corner plot.

At 80 m² it sits well below the postcode median (115 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2016. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £324,000 is 44% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£261/sq ft) was about 145% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 10 years since the last transfer (March 2016).
