About Willow Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Willow Cottage is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Battisford, Stowmarket, Stowmarket (IP14 2HE). It has a recorded floor area of 93 m² (around 1001 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (August 2012) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 60), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from August 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 93 m² it's 16.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (112 m² median across 12 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £303,000 sits 83.6% above the 2013 sale of £165,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£165/sq ft) was about 44.4% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: new windows refused in 2018. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. Last changed hands 13 years ago, in May 2013.
