About Autumn Cottage
Autumn Cottage is a semi-detached house in Aberford, Leeds, Leeds (LS25 3DA). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2025) shows an E (score 53), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (March 2012); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Poor to Average and lighting went from Average to Very Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 82), a 3-band jump.
It hasn't traded since June 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. At 63 m² it sits well below the postcode median (140 m² across 22 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £239,000 is 31% above the 2007 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£269/sq ft) was about 43.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
