Chester Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Cumberworth, Alford, Alford (LN13 9LF). It has a recorded floor area of 150 m² (around 1615 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (November 2014) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from November 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

Held since December 2007 — that's 18 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 150 m² the property is well over the postcode median (99 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £332,000 is 34.1% above the 2007 sale price.
