Overview

About Manor Cottage

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

Manor Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Besthorpe, Newark, Newark (NG23 7HJ). It has a recorded floor area of 147 m² (around 1583 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (October 2010) shows a G (score 16), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to F (score 32). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from October 2010, 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.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 2 planning records sit against the property, 1 approved, 1 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1999–2016, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £419,000 is 35.2% above the 2016 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£196/sq ft) was about 50.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.

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 Manor Cottage is modelled from its 147 m² EPC floor area, its 2 recorded sales 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. 2 sales are recorded for Manor 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 Manor Cottage was lodged in October 2010 at band G and expired in October 2020, 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. 2 applications are matched to Manor 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
Manor Cottage is in council tax band D. 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.
