About Driffold Cottage

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

Driffold Cottage is a detached house in Norton, Doncaster, Doncaster (DN6 9HJ). It has a recorded floor area of 124 m² (around 1335 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (April 2014) shows a D (score 66), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from April 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 19 years, with the last transfer in September 2007. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 124 m² the property is well over the postcode median (73 m² across 8 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2000–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £342,000 is 48.7% above the 2007 sale price.
