About Elwood Cottage
Elwood Cottage is a five-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Amcotts, Scunthorpe, Scunthorpe (DN17 4AX). It has a recorded floor area of 88 m² (around 947 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (March 2022) shows an F (score 30), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. Other recorded features include a self-contained annexe.
Today's modelled estimate of £203,000 sits 203% above the 2022 sale of £67,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£71/sq ft) was about 23% below the postcode norm. At 88 m² it sits well below the postcode median (154 m² across 8 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
