About Tawny Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Tawny Cottage is a semi-detached house in Burgh St. Peter, Beccles, Beccles (NR34 0AA). It has a recorded floor area of 114 m² (around 1227 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (April 2026) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 73), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
Untraded for 27 years, with the last transfer in October 1999. Only one transfer is on record with HM Land Registry, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands for a long time. At 114 m² the property is well over the postcode median (49 m² across 13 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 77% of similar EPCs). Today's modelled estimate of £324,000 sits 268.2% above the 1999 sale of £88,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£72/sq ft) was about 74.1% below the postcode norm.
