About The Old Forge
The Old Forge is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Lighthorne, Warwick, Warwick (CV35 0AU). It has a recorded floor area of 59 m² (around 635 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. 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 latest certificate (May 2014) shows an F (score 28), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 58), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on wood logs. The latest certificate is from May 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Untraded for 25 years, with the last transfer in March 2001. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £214,000 sits 210.1% above the 2001 sale of £69,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£109/sq ft) was about 69.1% below the postcode norm. At 59 m² it sits well below the postcode median (86 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2002.
