Rose Cottage is a three-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Aldeby, Beccles, Beccles (NR34 0BE). It has a recorded floor area of 116 m² (around 1249 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (February 2021) shows an F (score 36), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (March 2010); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 71), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. Other recorded features include notable views and a conservatory. Period features are noted in the property record.
At 116 m² it's 19.6% larger than the typical home in the postcode (97 m² median across 8 EPCs). It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 88% of similar EPCs). Across 2003–2021, sale prices on this property compounded at 3.4% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £381,000 is 10.4% above the 2021 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£276/sq ft) was about 35.2% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Most recent transfer: June 2021 at £345,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
