Rose Cottage, Waller Lane, Caterham, CR3 5EA
About Rose Cottage
Rose Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Caterham (CR3 5EA). It has a recorded floor area of 135 m² (around 1456 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2009) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from October 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Period features are noted in the property record.
At 135 m² the property is well over the postcode median (41 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 80% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2014. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last changed hands 10 years ago, in August 2016. Across 2011–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £638,000 is 31.5% above the 2016 sale price.
