About 6 Magazine Cottages
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
6 Magazine Cottages is a mid-terrace house in Chilworth, Guildford, Guildford (GU4 8NE). It has a recorded floor area of 67 m² (around 721 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (July 2023) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in February 2009 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good and main heating dropped from Very Good to Good.
Held since May 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Today's modelled estimate of £422,000 sits 122.1% above the 2009 sale of £190,000. At 67 m² it's 16.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (80 m² median across 15 EPCs).
