About 1 Yewtree Cottage
1 Yewtree Cottage is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Meriden, Coventry, Coventry (CV7 7HR). It has a recorded floor area of 76 m² (around 818 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2020) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since May 2010. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 98), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. Other recorded features include notable views and outbuildings. Period features are noted in the property record.
It hasn't traded since February 2009, a hold of 17 years that's notably long for the area. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales.
