About Mere Cottage

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

Mere Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Hulme Walfield, Congleton, Congleton (CW12 2HH). It has a recorded floor area of 115 m² (around 1238 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2004. Past consents include an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £407,000 is 18% above the 2018 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£279/sq ft) was about 73.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
