Overview

About Cricketers Cottage

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Cricketers Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Shalford, Guildford, Guildford (GU4 8DQ). It has a recorded floor area of 310 m² (around 3337 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (May 2016) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. When first surveyed in May 2010 the rating was D, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while lighting dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 83).

At 310 m² the property is well over the postcode median (105 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Last sale on file: £690,000 in December 2021. Across the public record there are 6 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. Across 2001–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £974,000 is 41.2% above the 2021 sale price.
