About Barr Cottage

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

Barr Cottage is a four-bedroom detached house in Rollesby, Great Yarmouth, Great Yarmouth (NR29 5DR). It has a recorded floor area of 186 m² (around 2002 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (December 2013) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in June 2010 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 76). Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from December 2013, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

At 186 m² the property is well over the postcode median (111 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. Across 1999–2011, sale prices on this property compounded at 6.2% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £456,000 sits 94.1% above the 2011 sale of £234,950.
