Overview

About East Cottage

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

East Cottage is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Shropham, Attleborough, Attleborough (NR17 1DY). It has a recorded floor area of 162 m² (around 1744 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (March 2015) shows a D (score 59), a step below the typical UK home. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 89), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include attached land beyond the plot. Our model identifies extension potential, subject to local planning policy.

It hasn't traded since January 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. At 162 m² the property is well over the postcode median (93 m² across 26 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Today's modelled estimate of £342,000 sits 84.9% above the 2007 sale of £185,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£106/sq ft) was about 42.7% below the postcode norm. 6 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 3 refused.
