About 2 Riverside Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
2 Riverside Cottage is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Newark (NG24 1BG). It has a recorded floor area of 110 m² (around 1184 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. Tenure is freehold. 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. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy. The latest certificate (June 2020) shows an F (score 35), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The rating has held steady at F across 2 certificates since January 2012. Between certificates, roof efficiency went from Average to Good; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since February 2008, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 110 m² the property is well over the postcode median (52 m² across 29 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 76% of similar EPCs). Across 1997–2008, sale prices on this property compounded at 11.9% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£186/sq ft) was about 83.5% above the typical sold price in the postcode. One planning record on file: a garage conversion refused in 2024.
