42a, Cove Road, Farnborough, GU14 0EN
About 42a
42a is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Farnborough (GU14 0EN). It has a recorded floor area of 61 m² (around 657 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band B. At 61 m² this is the 8th smallest of 10 units on EPC record in the building, where floor areas span 37–88 m². The building's EPC ratings span E to C across 10 units on file. The latest certificate (February 2024) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 73).
It hasn't traded since October 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 61 m² the property is well over the postcode median (45 m² across 9 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £209,000 is 30.6% above the 2007 sale price.
