About Overton Cottage
Overton Cottage is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Sturminster Newton (DT10 1DH). It has a recorded floor area of 112 m² (around 1203 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (April 2010) shows a D (score 65), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from April 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Last sale on file: £325,000 in June 2021. Across the public record there are 6 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2000–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £379,000 is 16.6% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£270/sq ft) was about 62.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
