Overview

About 2 Valley Farm Cottages

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

2 Valley Farm Cottages is a four-bedroom detached house in Snarestone, Swadlincote, Swadlincote (DE12 7DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 262 m² (around 2820 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2022) shows a C (score 79), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in February 2014 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 81). Main heating runs on oil.

It hasn't traded since August 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. Today's modelled estimate of £678,000 sits 63.4% above the 2009 sale of £415,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£147/sq ft) was about 33.9% below the postcode norm. One historical planning record sits against the property in 2023.
