About Chestnut Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Chestnut Cottage is a detached house in Warkton, Kettering, Kettering (NN16 9XF). It has a recorded floor area of 128 m² (around 1378 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900.

The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 72). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from August 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 85% of similar EPCs). 9 planning records sit against the property, 4 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include an extension and new windows, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 2001–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 7.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £354,000 is 14.2% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£225/sq ft) was about 31.2% below the postcode norm.
