Stable Cottage, College Road, Windermere, LA23 1BX
About Stable Cottage
Stable Cottage is a detached house in Windermere (LA23 1BX). It has a recorded floor area of 72 m² (around 777 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1950-1966. The latest certificate (March 2011) shows an F (score 26), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 42). The latest certificate is from March 2011, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since April 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 72 m² it sits well below the postcode median (108 m² across 9 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 78% of similar EPCs). On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£643/sq ft) was about 450.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 2 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 0 refused.
