About Yew Tree Cottage
Yew Tree Cottage is a detached house in Strubby, Alford, Alford (LN13 0LP). It has a recorded floor area of 172 m² (around 1851 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (February 2015) shows a D (score 55), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from February 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
It hasn't traded since May 2000, a hold of 26 years that's notably long for the area. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 172 m² the property is well over the postcode median (56 m² across 3 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £393,000 sits 303.1% above the 2000 sale of £97,500. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2007. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
