Overview

About 2 Rectory Cottage

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

2 Rectory Cottage is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Sandhurst, Gloucester, Gloucester (GL2 9NP). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (May 2017) shows an F (score 26), near the bottom of the EPC scale. When first surveyed in September 2015 the rating was G, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and lighting went from Poor to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 110), a 5-band jump. Main heating runs on dual fuel.

At 69 m² it sits well below the postcode median (148 m² across 21 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 81% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £374,000 is 43.8% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£350/sq ft) was about 39.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in September 2017, so it's been off the market for around 9 years.
