Overview

About Windy Harbour Cottage

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

Windy Harbour Cottage is a semi-detached house in Turton, Bolton, Bolton (BL7 0PA). It has a recorded floor area of 106 m² (around 1141 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2016) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 99), a 4-band jump.

Held since August 2002 — that's 24 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £289,000 sits 817.5% above the 2002 sale of £31,500. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£28/sq ft) was about 87.6% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2002.
