Overview

About Beresford Cottage

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

Beresford Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Burton Overy, Leicester, Leicester (LE8 9DB). It has a recorded floor area of 275 m² (around 2960 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band G. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an F (score 28), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 48). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot.

At 275 m² the property is well over the postcode median (109 m² across 4 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 75% of similar EPCs). 5 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include tree works and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. 14 years since the last transfer (August 2012). Today's modelled estimate of £1,165,000 is 46.5% above the 2012 sale price.
