Overview

About Lilac Cottage

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

Lilac Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Steeple, Southminster, Southminster (CM0 7LL). It has a recorded floor area of 78 m² (around 836 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1983-1990. The latest certificate (August 2011) shows a D (score 63), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £447,000 sits 61.4% above the 2012 sale of £277,000. At 78 m² it sits well below the postcode median (126 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 83% of similar EPCs). Last sold in November 2012, so it's been off the market for around 14 years.
