Clare Cottage is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Fenny Compton, Southam, Southam (CV47 2YD). It has a recorded floor area of 131 m² (around 1410 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2012) shows a G (score 20), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to F (score 24). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from February 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
It hasn't traded since November 1997, a hold of 29 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £545,000 sits 419% above the 1997 sale of £105,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£74/sq ft) was about 66.4% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
