Overview

About April Cottage

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

April Cottage is a semi-detached house in Ainley Top, Huddersfield, Huddersfield (HD2 2DX). It has a recorded floor area of 107 m² (around 1152 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an E (score 52), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since March 2001 — that's 25 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 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 £242,000 sits 281.1% above the 2001 sale of £63,500. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2003. Past consents include an extension and a porch, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
