About Barn Owl Cottage
Barn Owl Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Cumberworth, Alford, Alford (LN13 9LE). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (August 2015) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 95), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views and attached land beyond the plot.
It hasn't traded since May 2007, a hold of 19 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. Today's modelled estimate of £329,000 is 41.2% above the 2007 sale price.
