About Hanover Cottage
Hanover Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Feering, Colchester, Colchester (CO5 9QN). It has a recorded floor area of 153 m² (around 1646 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (November 2011) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). The latest certificate is from November 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record.

Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2006. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2001–2022, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.3% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£425/sq ft) was about 84.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
