About Howgrove Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Howgrove Cottage is a detached house in Butcombe, Bristol, Bristol (BS40 7UY). It has a recorded floor area of 245 m² (around 2634 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (May 2009) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from May 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since December 2009, a hold of 16 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 245 m² the property is well over the postcode median (139 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £885,000 sits 70.2% above the 2009 sale of £520,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£197/sq ft) was about 33.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003.
