Overview

About 1 Church Cottages

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

1 Church Cottages is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Lighthorne, Warwick, Warwick (CV35 0AR). It has a recorded floor area of 58 m² (around 626 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a corner plot. The latest certificate (January 2010) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 45). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from January 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 58 m² it sits well below the postcode median (96 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 9 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Sold October 2024 for £405,000. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 2005–2024, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.5% per year.
