Overview

About Willow Tree Cottage

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

Willow Tree Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Bridgend (CF31 3EU). It has a recorded floor area of 133 m² (around 1432 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it C (January 2009); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

Across 2009–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at -1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £350,000 sits 53.8% above the 2016 sale of £227,500. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). Last sold in March 2016, so it's been off the market for around 10 years.
