Overview

About Cowslip Cottage

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

Cowslip Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in West Markham, Newark, Newark (NG22 0GU). It has a recorded floor area of 198 m² (around 2131 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (March 2014) shows an E (score 48), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Period features are noted in the property record. The home occupies a cul-de-sac position.

Held since March 2007 — that's 19 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. Across 1998–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £570,000 is 44.3% above the 2007 sale price.

How to read this page

Where every figure above comes from, how current it is and what it can't tell you.
Valuation method in detail
How the estimate is made
The estimate for Cowslip Cottage is modelled from its 198 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales and recent sales of comparable homes in NG22 0GU. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.
Where sold prices come from
Sold prices are HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, which covers residential sales in England and Wales since 1995. 2 sales are recorded for Cowslip Cottage. Sales normally appear two to three months after completion, so the most recent ones take time to show up anywhere.
Reading the EPC
Energy Performance Certificates rate homes from A (most efficient) to G and last 10 years. The latest one for Cowslip Cottage was lodged in March 2014 at band E and expired in March 2024, so a new one is needed to sell or let. Floor area, heating and insulation details on this page come from it.
Planning records
Planning applications are collected from local authority registers through PlanIt. None is matched to Cowslip Cottage. Councils sometimes file applications under a different address format, and applications on neighbouring land aren't listed here; the report covers both.
Area figures
Crime is police-recorded street-level data over the last 12 months, which places each incident at an approximate point. The 3 schools and 30 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NG22 0GU, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Cowslip Cottage is in council tax band F. Bands are set by the Valuation Office Agency from historic values (1 April 1991 in England, 1 April 2003 in Wales), not today's price; the amount you pay depends on the council's rate for the band.
