A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Copse Cottage is a detached house in Brook, Godalming, Godalming (GU8 5UQ). It has a recorded floor area of 138 m² (around 1487 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (August 2010) shows an E (score 39), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Main heating runs on oil.

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 £1,091,000 sits 225.7% above the 1998 sale of £335,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£225/sq ft) was about 38.5% below the postcode norm. At 138 m² it sits well below the postcode median (238 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2013. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
