Walnut Tree Cottage is a five-bedroom detached house in Alvington, Lydney, Lydney (GL15 6AT). It has a recorded floor area of 235 m² (around 2530 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1996-2002 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 59), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on lpg.

Across 1997–1997, sale prices on this property compounded at -48.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £541,000 sits 1362.2% above the 1997 sale of £37,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£15/sq ft) was about 94.7% below the postcode norm. 9 planning records sit against the property, 7 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations.
