About Grove Cottage
Grove Cottage is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Petworth (GU28 0BD). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The latest certificate (April 2010) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The latest certificate is from April 2010, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 116 m² the property is well over the postcode median (80 m² across 24 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. 13 planning records sit against the property, 7 approved, 3 refused. Past consents include a garage conversion and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Last changed hands 8 years ago, in December 2017. Across 2000–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 7% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £451,000 is 20.3% above the 2017 sale price.
