About Japonica Cottage
Japonica Cottage is a two-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Acle, Norwich, Norwich (NR13 3DE). It has a recorded floor area of 100 m² (around 1076 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows an E (score 46), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 84), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.
At 100 m² it's 17.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (85 m² median across 11 EPCs). On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £230,000 sits 71.6% above the 2015 sale of £134,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£124/sq ft) was about 39.8% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2020. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Last sold in October 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
