How the estimate is made
The estimate for The Cottage is modelled from its 213 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BA2 8PE. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.

About The Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
The Cottage is a five-bedroom detached house in Dunkerton, Bath, Bath (BA2 8PE). It has a recorded floor area of 213 m² (around 2293 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (March 2024) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 93), a 3-band jump. Other recorded features include notable views and a self-contained annexe. Period features are noted in the property record. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
Held since October 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. 4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, partial demolition and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1997–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £831,000 is 44.5% above the 2007 sale price.

Start your researchHow to read this page
Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for The Cottage is modelled from its 213 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in BA2 8PE. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for The Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for The Cottage was lodged in March 2024 at band D and is valid until March 2034. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 4 applications are matched to The Cottage. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 15 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 3 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from BA2 8PE, not by walking route.
- Council tax band
- The Cottage is in council tax band G. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
