4 Pound Cottages is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Hascombe, Godalming, Godalming (GU8 4JA). It has a recorded floor area of 213 m² (around 2293 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (February 2023) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on electricity.
Held since January 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 213 m² the property is well over the postcode median (120 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £1,074,000 sits 131% above the 2007 sale of £465,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£203/sq ft) was about 23.8% below the postcode norm. 12 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
