About Hill Cottage
Hill Cottage is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Brockhampton, Cheltenham, Cheltenham (GL54 5XL). It has a recorded floor area of 79 m² (around 850 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (October 2021) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
At 79 m² it sits well below the postcode median (118 m² across 11 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Today's modelled estimate of £607,000 is 29.1% above the 2022 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£553/sq ft) was about 74.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 6 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 2 refused. Last sale on file: £470,000 in August 2022. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
