About The Tower Cottage
The Tower Cottage is a one-bedroom semi-detached house in Harrow (HA1 3JE). It has a recorded floor area of 129 m² (around 1386 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (February 2011) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 57). The latest certificate is from February 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a balcony.
5 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. At 129 m² it's 15.3% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (152 m² median across 25 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 84% of similar EPCs). Last sold in August 2011, so it's been off the market for around 15 years. Today's modelled estimate of £886,000 is 32.2% above the 2011 sale price.
