2 Malthouse Cottages is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Gomshall, Guildford, Guildford (GU5 9LW). It has a recorded floor area of 45 m² (around 484 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 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 (February 2023) shows a D (score 67), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in May 2014 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good and lighting went from Average to Very Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 88), a 2-band jump.
Across 2019–2024, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.6% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £348,000 is 23.5% below the 2024 sale of £455,000, a rare downward gap that often correlates with deferred maintenance or unfinished works. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£939/sq ft) was about 88.8% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 45 m² it sits well below the postcode median (73 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Sold October 2024 for £455,000.
