Overview

About Streets Cottage

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

Streets Cottage is a detached house in Farmborough, Bath, Bath (BA2 0AR). It has a recorded floor area of 38 m² (around 409 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (April 2025) shows a C (score 69), just inside the C band. When first surveyed in February 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 89).

Held since December 2009 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 38 m² it sits well below the postcode median (110 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Across 1999–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £458,000 is 30.9% above the 2009 sale price.
