Overview

About 4 Matterly Cottages

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

4 Matterly Cottages is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Horton, Wimborne, Wimborne (BH21 7HN). It has a recorded floor area of 133 m² (around 1432 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2024) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in October 2008 the rating was F, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Very Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Poor to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on lpg. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot.

It hasn't traded since July 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2001–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £610,000 sits 81.3% above the 2009 sale of £336,500.
