1 Manor Cottage, The Square, Stow On The Wold, Cheltenham, GL54 1AB
About 1 Manor Cottage
1 Manor Cottage is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Stow On The Wold, Cheltenham, Cheltenham (GL54 1AB). It has a recorded floor area of 26 m² (around 280 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Today's modelled estimate of £210,000 sits 68% above the 2013 sale of £125,000. At 26 m² it sits well below the postcode median (61 m² across 6 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 83% of similar EPCs). 1 bedrooms is on the smaller side for this postcode, where 3 is the typical count. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in October 2013, so it's been off the market for around 13 years.
