Overview

About The Old Tailors Cottage

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

The Old Tailors Cottage is a mid-terrace house in Sturminster Newton (DT10 1AN). It has a recorded floor area of 92 m² (around 989 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 70). The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 92 m² the property is well over the postcode median (63 m² across 11 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 2002–2014, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £238,000 sits 70% above the 2014 sale of £140,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£142/sq ft) was about 28.2% below the postcode norm. 3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Last sold in November 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property.
