Overview

About Christmas Cottage

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

Christmas Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Chearsley, Aylesbury, Aylesbury (HP18 0BT). It has a recorded floor area of 82 m² (around 883 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (January 2014) shows an E (score 45), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 69), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from January 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Untraded for 17 years, with the last transfer in June 2009. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Across 2002–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.1% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £511,000 sits 64.8% above the 2009 sale of £310,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£351/sq ft) was about 19.9% below the postcode norm. At 82 m² it sits well below the postcode median (127 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
