Manor Cottage, The Common, Dunston, Norwich, NR14 8PF

Manor Cottage is a five-bedroom detached house in Dunston, Norwich, Norwich (NR14 8PF). It has a recorded floor area of 162 m² (around 1744 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Records show the property has been extended at some point in its history. The latest certificate (August 2025) shows an E (score 49), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 62). Main heating runs on oil.

Held since July 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £580,000 sits 114.8% above the 2007 sale of £270,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£155/sq ft) was about 23.7% below the postcode norm. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 70% of similar EPCs).
