Overview

About Old Bridge Cottage

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

Old Bridge Cottage is a detached house in Cottingley Bridge, Bingley, Bingley (BD16 1NB). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1228 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an F (score 26), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 50). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since April 2009 — that's 17 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. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 6 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £358,000 is 43.2% above the 2009 sale price.
