Overview

About 3 Whitethorn Cottages

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

3 Whitethorn Cottages is a semi-detached house in Swindon Village, Cheltenham, Cheltenham (GL51 9RW). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (September 2014) shows a D (score 60), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in April 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from September 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £311,000 sits 71.8% above the 2010 sale of £181,000. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2015. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
