Overview

About 2 New Cottages

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

2 New Cottages is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Eastleigh, Bideford, Bideford (EX39 4PA). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1900-1929. The latest certificate (March 2017) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 97), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. Other recorded features include outbuildings. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

Held since December 2009 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £264,000 sits 76% above the 2009 sale of £150,000. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 86% of similar EPCs).
