Watersmeet is a detached house in Hambledon, Godalming, Godalming (GU8 4DY). It has a recorded floor area of 239 m² (around 2573 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1996-2002. The latest certificate (September 2013) returns a high B (score 89), putting the home a stone's throw from an A rating. The recommended improvements would push it to A (score 92). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from September 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since January 2001, a hold of 25 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 239 m² the property is well over the postcode median (147 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £1,778,000 sits 158.8% above the 2001 sale of £687,000. 10 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
