Overview

About Cornview Cottage

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

Cornview Cottage is a detached house in Lewdown, Okehampton, Okehampton (EX20 4PU). It has a recorded floor area of 146 m² (around 1572 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2014) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

It hasn't traded since August 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 14% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £463,000 sits 80.2% above the 2007 sale of £257,000. 2 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 146 m² it's 19.8% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (182 m² median across 3 EPCs).
