About Merrymead Cottage
Merrymead Cottage is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Cuddington, Aylesbury, Aylesbury (HP18 0AW). It has a recorded floor area of 133 m² (around 1432 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (July 2025) shows a D (score 68), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 3 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Very Poor to Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Average to Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. Other recorded features include notable views. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.
Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in August 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 133 m² the property is well over the postcode median (89 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £591,000 sits 55.5% above the 2009 sale of £380,000.
