5 Grange Cottage is a one-bedroom detached house in Riseholme, Lincoln, Lincoln (LN2 2LQ). It has a recorded floor area of 77 m² (around 829 sq ft) and council tax band A. At 77 m² this is the smallest unit on EPC record across the building (77–263 m²). The building's EPC ratings span D to C, with this unit at the top. Other recorded features include notable views. The latest certificate (June 2013) shows a C (score 76), near the top of the C band. The latest certificate is from June 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since August 2006 — that's 20 years off the open market, well above the local norm. At 77 m² it sits well below the postcode median (170 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 80% of similar EPCs). One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2012. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £154,000 is 14.9% above the 2006 sale price.
