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. The latest certificate (February 2014) shows an F (score 34), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 75), a 3-band jump. 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.

Today's modelled estimate of £448,000 sits 65.9% above the 2015 sale of £270,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£174/sq ft) was about 38.1% above the typical sold price in the postcode. 3 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an extension, a porch and partial demolition, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). On the market in March 2015 and unlisted since — roughly 11 years.
