About Dovecote Farm
Dovecote Farm is a three-bedroom detached house in Barnby, Newark, Newark (NG24 2SA). It has a recorded floor area of 190 m² (around 2040 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2008) shows an F (score 22), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would push it to E (score 42). Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from October 2008, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record.
Held since November 2000 — that's 26 years off the open market, well above the local norm. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. Today's modelled estimate of £377,000 sits 625% above the 2000 sale of £52,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£25/sq ft) was about 84.4% below the postcode norm. 6 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. At 190 m² it's 16.3% larger than the typical home in the postcode (163 m² median across 15 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 73% of similar EPCs).
