Overview

About Cassells Cottage

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Cassells Cottage is a five-bedroom detached house in Cockernhoe, Luton, Luton (LU2 8QD). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. The latest certificate (September 2008) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The latest certificate is from September 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£328/sq ft) was about 95.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 4 planning records sit against the property, 3 approved, 0 refused. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 86% of similar EPCs).
