Overview

About Woodbine Cottage

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

Woodbine Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Blakeney (GL15 4AJ). It has a recorded floor area of 137 m² (around 1475 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a C (score 74). When first surveyed in July 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Very Good and lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and main heating dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 92), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on lpg. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record.

3 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 81% of similar EPCs). Across 2006–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 4.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £656,000 is 18.8% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£374/sq ft) was about 65% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sale on file: £552,000 in June 2021. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
