Overview

About Poplar Cottage

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

Poplar Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Garthorpe, Scunthorpe, Scunthorpe (DN17 4AD). It has a recorded floor area of 138 m² (around 1485 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows an F (score 29), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 4 certificates since April 2014. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average and main heating dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on bulk wood pellets. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views.

Across 2017–2019, sale prices on this property compounded at -2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £355,000 sits 54.3% above the 2019 sale of £230,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£155/sq ft) was about 65% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2023. Past consents include an extension and an annexe, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Sold September 2019 for £230,000.

Method

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Poplar Cottage is modelled from its 138 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in DN17 4AD. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for Poplar Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Poplar Cottage was lodged in August 2015 at band F and expired in August 2025, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 4 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. 1 application is matched to Poplar Cottage. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 14 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 2 schools and 16 stops listed are measured in a straight line from DN17 4AD, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Poplar Cottage is in council tax band D. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
