Overview

About West Cottage

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

West Cottage is a four-bedroom semi-detached house in Cley, Holt, Holt (NR25 7RA). It has a recorded floor area of 154 m² (around 1658 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (December 2014) shows an F (score 31), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (November 2008); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, lighting went from Poor to Very Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 61), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from December 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include notable views and outbuildings.

9 planning records sit against the property, 6 approved, 2 refused. Past consents include solar panel installation, change of use to residential, an extension and a conservatory, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Today's modelled estimate of £739,000 is 39.4% above the 2014 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£320/sq ft) was about 48% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in January 2014, so it's been off the market for around 12 years.
