About The Cottage

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

The Cottage is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Halvergate, Norwich, Norwich (NR13 3QA). It has a recorded floor area of 63 m² (around 678 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (July 2013) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 95), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views.

Sold June 2021 for £250,000. Across the public record there are 6 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1999–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 13.4% per year. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£369/sq ft) was about 111.6% above the typical sold price in the postcode. At 63 m² it's 24.6% smaller than the typical home in the postcode (84 m² median across 14 EPCs).
