Overview

About The Cottage

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

The Cottage is a detached house in Cold Newton, Leicester, Leicester (LE7 9DA). It has a recorded floor area of 146 m² (around 1572 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (June 2012) shows an F (score 33), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 79), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on dual fuel. The latest certificate is from June 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Today's modelled estimate of £531,000 sits 51.7% above the 2013 sale of £350,000. At 146 m² it sits well below the postcode median (211 m² across 7 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Last changed hands 13 years ago, in March 2013.
