Overview

About Rose Cottage

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

Rose Cottage is a detached house in Shincliffe, Durham, Durham (DH1 2LY). It has a recorded floor area of 107 m² (around 1152 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (July 2026) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in October 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 79). This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.

At 107 m² the property is well over the postcode median (69 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 89% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: a loft conversion approved in 2014. Past consents include a loft conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
