1 Blacknest Cottages is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Dunsfold, Godalming, Godalming (GU8 4PB). It has a recorded floor area of 118 m² (around 1270 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 83), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since January 2003 — that's 23 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Today's modelled estimate of £662,000 sits 132.3% above the 2003 sale of £285,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£224/sq ft) was about 45.2% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
