Overview

About 1 Mill Cottage

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

1 Mill Cottage is a detached house in Birdsedge, Huddersfield, Huddersfield (HD8 8XP). It has a recorded floor area of 164 m² (around 1765 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a D (score 57), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in June 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 164 m² the property is well over the postcode median (80 m² across 45 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1997–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £456,000 sits 112.1% above the 2008 sale of £215,000. 3 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension and a garage conversion, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.

Where sold prices come from
