About 4 Lodge Cottages
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
4 Lodge Cottages is an end-of-terrace house in Polesworth, Tamworth, Tamworth (B78 1HX). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 658 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (February 2012) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 53). The latest certificate is from February 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 61 m² it sits well below the postcode median (91 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Today's modelled estimate of £198,000 is 23.8% above the 2021 sale price. Last sale on file: £160,000 in March 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
