Old Rectory is a detached house in Loxhill, Godalming, Godalming (GU8 4BQ). It has a recorded floor area of 345 m² (around 3714 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band H. The latest certificate (April 2018) shows a C (score 74). Main heating runs on biomass.
Today's modelled estimate of £5,245,000 is 38.3% below the 2022 sale of £8,500,000, running counter to the wider postcode trend, which makes the EPC and condition history especially worth a look. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£2,289/sq ft) was about 529% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 345 m² the property is well over the postcode median (179 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 71% of similar EPCs). 28 planning records sit against the property, 10 approved, 5 refused. Past consents include tree works, an extension and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Most recent transfer: June 2022 at £8,500,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
