About Manor Farmhouse
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Manor Farmhouse is a four-bedroom detached house in Marchwood, Southampton, Southampton (SO40 4UN). It has a recorded floor area of 165 m² (around 1776 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.
At 165 m² the property is well over the postcode median (115 m² across 14 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£394/sq ft) was about 25.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold June 2022 for £700,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
