Moat Farm, Thurlby Road, Bilsby, Alford, LN13 9JJ

Moat Farm is a four-bedroom detached house in Bilsby, Alford, Alford (LN13 9JJ). It has a recorded floor area of 183 m² (around 1970 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Other recorded features include outbuildings, attached land beyond the plot and a loft. The latest certificate (June 2019) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump.

Untraded for 18 years, with the last transfer in October 2008. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 183 m² the property is well over the postcode median (107 m² across 21 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £495,000 is 43.5% above the 2008 sale price.
