Peartree Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Hambledon, Godalming, Godalming (GU8 4HL). It has a recorded floor area of 128 m² (around 1378 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows an E (score 42), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since October 1996, a hold of 30 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. Today's modelled estimate of £829,000 sits 285.6% above the 1996 sale of £215,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£156/sq ft) was about 60.2% below the postcode norm. At 128 m² it's 18.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (108 m² median across 6 EPCs). One planning record on file: a garage conversion refused in 2001.
