About Bure Cottage

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

Bure Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Acle, Norwich, Norwich (NR13 3AZ). It has a recorded floor area of 212 m² (around 2282 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2015) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 72), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from April 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views, outbuildings and attached land beyond the plot. Period features are noted in the property record.

At 212 m² the property is well over the postcode median (154 m² across 5 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. 9 years since the last transfer (January 2017). Across the public record there are 4 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2019. Past consents include an extension, a porch and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1997–2017, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.8% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £595,000 is 28% above the 2017 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£204/sq ft) was about 40.4% above the typical sold price in the postcode.
