About 1 Old Forge Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
1 Old Forge Cottage is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Stoke Orchard, Cheltenham, Cheltenham (GL52 7RY). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (January 2016) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since December 2013. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and main heating went from Average to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Poor and window efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 110), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from January 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. The home occupies a corner plot and a cul-de-sac position.
At 69 m² it sits well below the postcode median (152 m² across 22 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £331,000 is 10.3% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£404/sq ft) was about 81.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Sold December 2022 for £300,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
- How the estimate is made
- The estimate for 1 Old Forge Cottage is modelled from its 69 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in GL52 7RY. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
- Where sold prices come from
- Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 1 sale is recorded for 1 Old Forge Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
- Reading the EPC
- Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for 1 Old Forge Cottage was lodged in January 2016 at band D and expired in January 2026, so a new one is needed to sell or let. 2 certificates are on record, which shows how the home has changed.
- Planning records
- Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to 1 Old Forge Cottage. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
- Area figures
- Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 1 school and 26 stops listed are measured in a straight line from GL52 7RY, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
- Council tax band
- 1 Old Forge Cottage is in council tax band B. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
