Overview

About Church Cottage

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

Church Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Besthorpe, Newark, Newark (NG23 7HJ). It has a recorded floor area of 144 m² (around 1550 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E.

Main heating runs on dual fuel. The latest certificate is from February 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory and outbuildings.

Method

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 Church Cottage is modelled from its 144 m² EPC floor area, its 1 recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in NG23 7HJ. 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. 1 sale is recorded for Church 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 Church Cottage was lodged in February 2014 at band F and expired in February 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. 3 applications are matched to Church 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 1 school and 21 stops listed are measured in a straight line from NG23 7HJ, not by walking route. Road noise is Defra's strategic noise modelling, averaged across the postcode.
Council tax band
Church Cottage is in council tax band E. 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.
