Overview

About Low Side Cottage

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

Low Side Cottage is a semi-detached house in Askham, Penrith, Penrith (CA10 2PF). It has a recorded floor area of 103 m² (around 1109 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows a G (score 17), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to F (score 25). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from April 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 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. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £332,000 is 23% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£244/sq ft) was about 35.3% below the postcode norm.
