Overview

About 1 Magazine Cottages

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

1 Magazine Cottages is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Chilworth, Guildford, Guildford (GU4 8NE). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 775 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (February 2013) shows an E (score 43), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. The latest certificate is from February 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £439,000 sits 54% above the 2014 sale of £285,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£368/sq ft) was about 26.9% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 4 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a porch and tree works, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 87% of similar EPCs). Last changed hands 12 years ago, in September 2014.
