THE LIMES is a very large extended detached house of 260m², built sometime between 1950 and 1966. It was last sold for £620,000 in October 2014, which was around 125% above the average October 2014 detached price in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area. The most recent EPC inspection was April 2021, where the current energy rating was C, and the potential energy rating was B.
Land registry data shows two sales for THE LIMES since 1st January 1995. The below table shows the price paid for the two sales, along with the average detached price in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area for the corresponding sale date. Both of the two THE LIMES sales were for above the average price. The average price is sourced from the Office for National Statistics' House Price Index (HPI).
Date | Price | HPI Price | Variation from HPI |
---|---|---|---|
2014 1 OCT | £620,000 | £275,880 | 125% above HPI |
2004 29 JUL | £460,000 | £233,689 | 97% above HPI |
The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cheshire West and Chester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE LIMES sales from July 2004 and October 2014 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the July 2004 sale was for 97% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 97% above the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it rises to 125% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 125% above the HPI.

The plot extent is a Land Registry INSPIRE Index Polygon, and it is important to note that a title may include more than one polygon, whereas only one polygon is shown on the map (the polygon which intersects with the position of THE LIMES). The full extent of the land contained in any registered title can only be identified from the individual title plan. The maps on this page should not be relied upon to establish the extent of a title.
