Hawthorn Cottage is a semi-detached house in Bascote, Southam, Southam (CV47 2DU). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (August 2014) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £463,000 sits 65.9% above the 2015 sale of £279,000. Last sold in May 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2020.
